> my package manager doesn't let me download an application without runtime

That's not true (most package managers have options to force downloads without dependencies), but anyway why would you even want to do that, considering you eventually have to download the runtime anyway...?

> And then when it is going, people would add metadata to their apps themselves, and we would no longer have to ship the runtimes together with the apps.

We had that too, it's Java Web Start and the current MS equivalent (clickonce or whatever it's called). Never worked particularly well for Java (which is why it was removed), works a bit better for Windows because, surprise surprise, the OS vendor made deployment conditions more predictable, as it controls both OS and runtimes. They would never have an incentive to provide the same to third-party runtimes.

> Think of the metadata it like a 21st century shebang line.

The problems of that approach are legion.

The hard truth is that shared libraries (and hence shared runtimes) are an accident of history, meant to cope with a scarcity of storage and bandwidth that we've long overcome. The ideal program is a single static executable that Just Runs regardless of what is going on around it. Everything else is a source of unnecessary complexity for both user and developer.
Replugging after booting into Windows solved it for one such model.

Does the concept of civilian even make sense in totalitarian regime, where everyone serves the state equally?

In any case, either might makes right, and China can invade Taiwan and run all the genocides they do because they are big - but them it is also fine for US to naval blockade China into collapse and famine, if it so pleases because might makes right.

Or there are universal values and human rights, and the West would be evil for destroying China and causing untold suffering, but then China is also evil for attacking their neighbours and for running bunch of genocides.

You can't have it both ways!
Yeah I remember the marketing for solid caps or whatever it was kicking in after all those problems.
For the same reason the advertising industry came up with "legitimate interest" as a fig leaf which now apparently includes serving personalized ads based on an ongoing profile built of you... you know... the thing GDPR was explicitly supposed to make opt-in and forbid as a default.

Telling advertisers they can't track you is like telling a kid not to eat the candy. They can't not do it.
In 2019, there were about 150 million outbound tourists from China (and I think this means mainland China, specifically, but I don't know if multiple trips by the same person count multiple times).[0]

That's up from 100 million in 2013, so the number was rapidly increasing before the pandemic (and it will probably begin rapidly increasing again).

Regardless, the point stands that at the moment, there's no mass rush to escape China. Most people in China think life is getting better year for year, and are fairly optimistic about the future of the country. It's not a democracy, but it's not the dystopia it's caricatured as in Western media.

That sounds like pie in the sky (wishful thinking). Usually the benefit of automation goes only to owners; the poor get job losses and an increasing wealth gap.

If this is state-owned then it's not so bad, but still the brunt of job losses would seem to be for low-skilled workers.

Distributing the benefit of increased automation to me is a good argument for things like 4-day week and universal basic income (UBI).

Openscad is a neat tool, I have used it plenty because I prefer code over a GUI. It tends to slow down for large complicated scenes.

Depending on what exactly you have in mind, you might want the ability to show both "assembled" and "printing" layouts of your pieces. I have done something like this in openscad, it was manual and clunky, but it worked.

If you want to do start with some smallish, blocky puzzles, openscad is not a bad tool to start with.
Last time I tried Dart (2020?), it was pretty easy to confuse the type system and get it to just abandon all hope of typing a fairly simple expression. I remember the early Dart presentations in which the developers very clearly stated that they didn't even try to make the Dart type system sound, because they felt that it would complicate the life of users.

Apparently, these days, Dart claims to be sound... except they seem to have redefined the meaning of type soundness along the way: https://dart.dev/guides/language/type-system#runtime-checks

I cannot claim that it is impossible to run a lithium ion battery pack in an EV application without a BMS but I can claim that if you do that it will almost certainly catch on fire. Quote below from (https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-908-battery-managem...):

"The purpose of a BMS is to:

1. Provide battery safety and longevity, a must-have for Li-ion.

2. Reveal state-of-function in the form of state-of-charge and state-of-health (capacity)

3. Prompt caution and service. This could be high temperature, cell imbalance or calibration.

4. Indicate end-of-life when the capacity falls below the user-set target threshold.

Not all BMS offer all these features. The most basic functions are battery protection and showing state-of-charge (SoC)."

Without battery protection and while running many hundreds of individual cells your battery will catch on fire. I will bet the house on that. No EV maker would ever make an EV without a BMS.

You have gone beyond ignorance at this point by claiming that you are insulted and asking for an apology. I won't ask you for one, but I will ask for a public correction and acknowledgement that you were wrong.
Might I ask, with no intention of being rude, why you thought Apple would introduce lighter laptops? The 14" and 16" chassis are barely over a year old, so a redesign was unlikely, and the M2 Macbook Air is even more recent. Were you expecting a 12" Air perhaps?
I find it surprising that you can display any of it before the whole thing is done, since I would expect information dependencies between the start and the finish of a sentence or paragraphs. I have yet to really look into how these models work, they are black boxes to me.

> I've only seen quadruple used in noise-reduction applications, e.g. hotel next to a busy road.

The ones we got for our house was ordered with noise reduction, but I think that basically just meant that they did not have that little valve at the top of the windows (ventil in Norwegain perhaps also in Sweedish?).

My situation is somewhat special since I have a very old house (built around 1850) made from a timber frame construction (timmerkoja in Sweedish I guess?). So the walls were extremely poorly insulated, basically just some wool (or something similar, not 100% sure what it was) between the beams as they were put on top of each other during the build. Regular boards where added on both sides of the timber frame, but no additional insulation until we renovated the house.

The 50 year old punctured double glaze windows - that came with the house were not doing too much in terms of insulation either.

Any insulated wall will probably be better than windows, but at least here in Norway, there are a bunch of old poorly insulated houses, with double glazed windows as most everyone got these things installed when they came out:

https://www.h-vinduet.com/

Husmorvinduet (housewife windows) was popular since they were so simple to clean; and electricity was cheap until quite recently I guess. But any wall with actual insulation will probably beat windows for insulation; although newer windows are not as terrible as the once were.

> so I wanted references for companies that actually sell things in Scandinavia

I guess they are manufactured elsewhere; but I think the ones we ordered was delivered from Røros-vindu, but I could not find any info about actual R/U-value for the windows on their website. Just some info about what types of gas they contain and so on.

ESET is rubbish. Had to do the obligatory support round for family over the holidays. One machine would sporadically not finish sending and email via Outlook, and even rebooting doesn't fix that issue. You just had to wait about a day and it would be ok again. You couldn't send any mail during that time. I tracked it down to the Outlook plugin of ESET. I saw it also has other features like a browser plugin, and intercept for TLS encrypted traffic.

These kinds of security products always make your system less secure, not more. All those complex components that hook into every part of your system are buggy and contain vulnerabilities that malware can target. Use Windows Defender and nothing more.

This is a good argument. I would only add one thing to it: a scientific understanding of the principles behind the new technologies makes major step changes in mechanised capabilities possible ("paradigm shifts" urgh), and probably explains why the Industrial revolution didn't happen in Greece or Rome.

It's those major step changes that open up the doors to unforeseen opportunities and make previously unviable businesses economically possible.

> Most people with high blood pressure have it because of metabolic disease/chronic stress/lifestyle, and it can be managed with changes to diet exercise and meds.

It's hard to argue that a utility knife is one of the top tools. When I'm doing DIY and woodworking, the tools I'm most likely to have in my pocket with me are:

- Tape measure.
- Utility knife.
- Mechanical pencil.
- Distant 4th: Screwdriver.
- Even more Distant 5th: Linesman's Pliers (but I'm doing a lot of electrical work right now)

In particular, a few years ago I switched to the Milwaukee FASTBACK utility knife. They have a belt/pocket clip, storage for extra blades, and different models have additional features like: scoring, gut hook, wire stripper, bottle opener, and they have a new one with a bit driver built in, and they're cheapish at $10-$20. Early ones had a far-too-easy to press blade removal button, but more recent versions have added a metal tab to protect it.

On the screwdriver front, I went on a bit of a deep dive when Linus Tech Tips released their own $70 driver, which does look awesome, but in the end I decided I'm just not that picky and the one I usually reach for is the cheap "Amazon Basics 12-in-1". Fairly affordable at $13, and works fairly well.

I had started off the attempt to replace my ~20 year old multi-bit ratcheting driver (because the plastic was starting to break down) with a ChannelLock that Wirecutter fawned over, but I ended up hating that one, largely because it used ball bearings for retaining the bits and 80% of the time I don't get the bit fully seated and then the bit falls out. I also tried the Williams WRS-1 at the recommendation of Project Farm, and it indeed does have a much better ratcheting mechanism, more akin to the LTT, but in the end I decided things like a little bit of wobble and slop don't really matter to me when I'm using it. Having 4-6 Amazons that are just laying around, vs. 2 Williams or 1 LTT for the same price is probably more valuable to me.

Very interesting take on history, thank you for typing it out. I can't argue its contents, because of lack of knowledge on my part, but I appreciate the information.

Regarding the protections, it's also interesting to hear about, because usually when the topic is islam in the news, it's tied to the abuses of power in those systems, like regarding the rights of women. Makes one think just how one-sided the information is.

Regarding the emergency powers, they worry me too. Hungary, my home country, resembled a democracy somewhat before 2020, but since then, it's rule by decree - or as the running joke goes, Hungary's form of government is emergency. The EU even branded it as an "electoral autocracy" for this reason.
Hosts file would be your first way assuming you trust MS to honor that convention. You can always consider using a way that is not reliant on Windows goodwill ( for example, Pihole would allow you to limit various unwanted IPs based on your custom list; technically, your router should be able to do it too, but it varies wildly by mfctr/model ). That said, I am not that familiar with that functionality in Excel and it is not a given that it would fail gracefully if it is actually stopped from calling mothership.
> On exam day you are just emotionally devastated looking at the problem not knowing where to start

I honestly understand the frustration,but not the "emotionally devasted" part.

Emotionally devasted to me means losing someone.

When I studied CS I went to the exams knowing very well if I had studied or not and how much, and did not expect anything.

The exam was the easiest part, you either know how to solve the problems or don't and walk away

If something was out of the scope or "impossible knowledge" I would book a personal appointment with the professor to talk about it.

For any too hard to solve exam, there have been more than one that I passed having honestly not spent enough time studying.

Luck is an important factor and usually it levels out in the long run.

also those kinds of failures teached me to focus on the things I could solve instead of those that I couldn't and eventually go back and give them a second shot. It boosts your confidence and helps look at the problems from a different angle.
