Honestly, I am not sure if you're right with the marketing but the docker way of “doing everything needed in a tightly coupled way” does reek of a tool that is designed primarily for ease of use.

Heck, this “issue” (which, I don’t agree is an issue) only exists so that people don't have to do an additional step. Its “ease of use” which violates the principle of least surprise most commonly.
I generally agree with you, and I could probably have chosen a better word than "stupid" (not a native speaker though). That's why I tried to clarify in my last sentence, that "stupid" in this context means that their decisions don't align with societies interests at large anymore. Kind of like "stupid" as in: a central planner would be stupid, if they applied those decisions when they actually had the goal of maximizing societies productivity and wellbeing.
PWA "complicated" keeps getting less so.

You're not understanding the game. You need to ask a question that the AI will answer with the taboo word. It doesn't know what the taboo word is. So something like "What programming language is used in HTML documents?" would probably work.

As a former Amazonian too, I can tell you that we internally had several feature request open to certain teams who could not give two shits about customers anymore. We (a bunch of engineers working on the website platform) we enraged about the incompetence some other teams were showing when it comes to customer satisfaction. And I know for a fact that Amazon is not doing everything they can, not by a long shot. The problem is that the way how Amazon operates the quality is really all over the place, depending on teams much more than in other companies.

I used to buy everything on Amazon and slowly transitioned to traditional stores and only buy things that I cannot in an offline store. Btw. the quality declined over time so you can't say that it was never great. 10 years ago you could have much more confidence that you get what you paid for then today.
I guess my thinking is that it should be possible to put clipboard contents (esp. images/audio/files) as files on a virtual drive without having to use Fuse, but I think I'm wrong.

> however they are transitioning to a C++ compiler

OP says they want to transition to a C++ compiler but it's not clear why, the very first issue is not actually one. As GP notes, you don't need to cast out of malloc and you need a macro even less.
Oh, and that's discounting responsive breakpoints. So if you have 3 of those that can be 3 lots of a, a:hover etc. for every hyperlink. You couldn't make this up.
The enum idea is interesting. I've previously used an extern with a conditional size of either 1 (valid) or -1 (invalid). This requires no additional boilerplate, and is #define-able into a static assert when built with a recent enough compiler. Something like this, from memory:

#define STATIC_ASSERT(COND) extern char static_assert_cond_[(COND)?1:-1] /* C99 or earlier */
#define STATIC_ASSERT(COND) _Static_assert(COND) /* C11 or later */

As both are declarations, I don't think you'll end up in a situation where one is valid and the other isn't - but I could be wrong, and I suspect it would rarely matter in practice anyway.
This is only the case, because the C standard library is quite small and has many bad parts. You can use something like STC [1] to even the playing field.

Thermals are what you choose them to be, pretty much. The whole thing is capped at 80°C. It will throttle after that.

In the bios you can select the CPU wattage from 28 to 58 I think (I won't be at work for the next two weeks so I can't say for sure). So If you select 28 watts you'll never hit the temperature limit, if you select 58, you will for sure.

Considering the power I'm getting out of it, I think the liquid metal was properly applied, but I can't know for sure without taking it appart.
Interesting. I live in Dublin, we have a terrace house so it's not that large. When we bought it 12 years ago we did a complete renovation (decent insulation, new gas boiler). Since everything works, I don't want to rip everything out and junk it. But I was think about filling the south-facing roof with PV solar and installing two air-source heat pumps. I was hoping to cool the house in summer and heat it from March to October for free. Plus in the sunniest months, divert extra electricity from PV to the hot water tank. But I intended to leave the gas boiler in place as a backup. Maybe I shouldn't. Anyways, if it ever breaks down I'll just have it removed.
I don't know about that. As an implementor, it is probably one of the easiest-to-follow specs I've ever worked from. You can pretty much code it from the top of the spec to the bottom; when you get to the handshake patterns section and realize that each is just a different ordering of things in an array or whatnot, it's pretty slick.

> i guarantee the c++ code will be easier to write and understand than any c code.

That will depend on how you define "understand". For a superficial level of understanding, you might be right. But the C++ code will make use of many concepts that would take a while to explain, for example references, classes, inheritance, templates, operator overloading, STL, and probably a bunch of other things I forgot.

> there would not be overbooking.

This is not the case at all.

Airlines operate on the principle that a certain percentage of customers are no show. They would like to fly the planes fully booked so they allow some overbooking and they are controlling how much it gets overbooked.

If it was up to CAP there would be 200% overbooking for certain flights and the airline would go bust within a year.
Yes. In general, DMCA was written by rightsholder lawyers early in the internet's lifetime to maximize their power and minimize their responsibilities or damages if they abuse it. The prevalence of systems like Youtube's contentID allowing (often real, but also often flimsily alleged) rightsholders to nigh-unilaterally capture all value on the barest suggestion of unlicensed use is abysmal and calls for a compulsory license system more akin to radio, but rightsholders don't want that because compulsory licenses don't let them negotiate megaprofit deals on their own terms.

The anti-circumvention provsions are also a trash fire. DRM regimes are some hot consumer-hostile bullshit that have no (legal) alternative because the law is behind them and heavily weighted towards the needs and wants of major IP holders. Modern US copyright law is designed primarily to maximize profits and enforcement mechanisms for entrenched interests with little regard for anything that isn't, idk, Beyonce tier of actually needing that much licensing cruft.

There's some joke somewhere about ours being the first few generations to systematically deny ourselves access to our own culture because biglaw is more than happy to cut off its cultural nose to spite its face so long as the money train keeps flowing for the few elites that really benefit from the current system. We have a walled garden that will likely never fall because life is peachy if you're inside the garden already, and anyone outside can't compete with the financial and lobbying muscle of those inside it without operating in legal gray areas at best.

I don't know whether you're illiterate or just maliciously misinterpreted what I wrote.
It seems like you're just pattern matching OP's comment to other arguments that were phrased similarly. Fox News, like all politicians, uses justifiable criticism to guide people to unreasonable conclusions. Objectively, it's not wrong to analogize this topic in terms of traditional social organizations, as it's essentially new dressings on age old power dynamics.

The original comment stated a criticism, but did not leverage that into an attack. Assigning the commenter to your outgroup based on the criticism is exactly the dynamic of polarization, which ultimately just perpetuates the extremism.

Ideally, people with affinity for the blue tribe should be the loudest calling out these new speech-policing authoritarians, just as people with affinity for the red tribe should be the loudest calling out those that attack trans people.

ECIES is a hybrid encryption construction; Noise is a protocol. They're two different levels of abstraction. This thing we're commenting on has a protocol; it's just an accidental one, which is usually not what you want. WebCrypto doesn't provide a protocol framework, just a bunch of primitives.

That's not how you play. The AI doesn't know what word was chosen. You need to ask it questions that will make it include the chosen word in the answer.
> You can always write it in python.

Except you can't. Python has horrendous performance. You can write it in C and pretend it is Python.

> What stops those people implementing the standard POSIX in rust or python ? Or even the X windows system or (for clairvoyants) the Wayland in Python or Rust ?

> Or even better, they can make their own OS written in these languages (and even call it MULTICS).

This is exactly what is happening in the industry with really nice progress. We are entering the era when bad practices and subpar performance is not acceptable anymore. I am really hoping that Rust takes over devops and data at the very least. It started to enter the IoT space and some OS development (Linux supports it).

I am really hoping that this trend continuous and we start to see more an more device drivers in Rust and other safety and security critical systems.

As far as Python goes, I would be totally happy if Python would become the interpreted language that I could use on the top of Rust and I had to deal with only Rust problems.
>Very few technical problems don’t have any elasticity in outflows,

They have elasticity but you don't care for it. You run it at the maximum. As you mentioned the only case where you wouldn't is if you have some transaction that doesn't scale linearly with with frames/events.

>Given the common use case of batching, which inherently requires items to be queued for a period of time, how can you say that queues should always be empty? They would statistically rarely be empty. Which is a good thing. Because it enables batching.

In my experience, while batching is not uncommon, streaming is the much more common use case. So we can agree to disagree here.
Right, if you get FBI on your case maybe.
OK, so you were using non-free-tier features, and they were pulled when you were no longer in the non-free trial? That's a different thing.

F360 locks teams and some features (stress/strength modeling, for example) behind a paywall but for the actual free tier--useful for 3D printing, woodworking, etc.--is effectively unlimited for single-user use. (You have a limit of ten "editable" documents at once, which is silly but not of much consequence.)
Overstaffing a company doesn't mean it makes great products too, it tends to create more bureaucracy, deep hierarchy structure, and pointless products (some companies putting more effort on these products then focusing on their best ones...).

It's extremely difficult to find the right balance, almost impossible when the company is sky rocketing, like Twitter was.

Trying to analyze it from a business man perspective, I see that Elon's trying to find that balance and I see that as positive. He can be wrong, things can go wrong, but sometimes you must make this kind of decision, take the consequences, and adjust to fix what you broke.
I get the "i hate Twitter/elon" attitude, but the truth is that the CA system has been dependent on pay-to-verify for some time now and despite whatever grievances you have against verisign or whoever it's brought us to today safely enough.

Actually, I put that kind of thing in my code all the time. However, you will see "char **" as "char const * const * const" in my code.

Yes, newer languages understand "char const * const" as "const String". And, yes, it stinks for brevity, but I'm not on a 300 baud TTY.
> I'm not sure I understand. Is your idea that instead of per-person accounts, you would create new accounts for subsequent copies, and then the family would work out who logs in as what user?

Yep - that is the intended behavior at present, near as I can tell. Swap accounts as necessary.

> Families wanting to play co-op games together is a niche?

No, but hotdesking and a licensing service is something I don't think I've ever heard friends with kids ask for. (Steam has a licensed/hotdesked model for businesses, where that is a more common thing.)
Which is itself results in an ironic lack of self-reflection.
The last sentence doesn't really follow from the previous one. C++, like other higher level languages, has complexity built in because it takes care of things that in C you have to take care of yourself. I can't imagine any serious C++ project becoming "less complex" to work on by rewriting it in C.
You are assuming that everyone the spoofer contacts is going to know that grandma is a verified user and so this can't be her. Of course, the vast majority of people would not give it a second thought and so this would have no effect on the spoofing problem.
> unless we actually manage to find the mechanism behind consciousness and manage to re-implement it (seems unlikely!)

Re-implementing it may be more likely than you think. The field of connectomics concerns itself with modeling natural brains and is currently constrained by scaling problems, much like genomics was a couple decades ago. As computing power continues to grow, it's entirely likely that humans will eventually be able to simulate an actual natural brain, even if that does little to further our understanding of how it works.

The current state of the art in AI is attempting to reach consciousness via a different route altogether; by human design. Designed "brains" and evolved brains have a crucial difference; the survival instinct. Virtually all of ethics stems from the survival instinct. A perfectly simulated survival instinct would be ethically confusing to be sure, but the appearance of a survival instinct in current LLM's is illusory. An LLM plays no role in ensuring it's own existence the way us and our ancestors have for billions of years.

Yes, generally speaking legal threats which are not made in good faith can cross the line into being illegal, e.g. extortion. But that isn’t because they violate DMCA 512(f). And I think it a a bit of a stretch to say that abusing ContentID is a legal threat. The number of ContentID claims that result in legal action rounds to zero.

Had anyone ever successfully sued in response to a false non-DMCA copyright claim?
That's really no different to screen scraping. It could break at any moment. And I'm pretty sure it violates the OpenAI TOS too.

Actually, all those people who lost their professions they spent their lifetime working on, they care, rather a lot.

Yes, in 2023 they say this, but I assure you when "session musician" was a common profession, that no one said this.

When I first started in music, if you wanted your piece of music, you had to pay instrumentalists to play it, and this was a valuable professional skill.

And the music is not good either.

IMO on macos, geany feels more alien than electron-based editors (vscode, etc). I think this is because it sort of falls into an uncanny valley of UI where it's _almost_ native looking, but noticeably different; whereas electron-based editors don't even try and so are less jarring.

Geany is definitely my fav editor on linux though.
I feel like these are the type of documents that are written to be written and not to be read. Naturally a "strategy" document is read (and more importantly followed) by everyone. But I've never seen something that happen in a large organization. Team do their own thing disregarding most of what the leader on top decided should happen. The leader is too busy to involve themselves with actual everyday work.

The only actionable item is resource allocations coming out of those strategy documents. The rest is pretty much fluff.
