As long as no one of them enables it, probably.

I don't know if this agreement is in place any longer, but you should be able to find references to it using a search engine.
Ahh you're right. I've been fooled.
Yeah, it’s better to use a “high-level” language designed for the architecture, such as this: https://github.com/dschmenk/PLASMA
I actually think you have a point.

Linux is far less of a walled garden in principle. And it seems a lot of people are assuming "walled garden" is a statement from developers perspective (no cost license or difficulty in developing for platform).

I think what you're saying though is that your choices and options are far easier and wider with windows as a regular user, than with Linux, and if so I see your point. I've been working with Unix at work happily for 25 years now, day in and out in the cli, yet I've always bounced trying Linux on desktop. It feels like a limited, difficult, thorny garden for most regular windows users :)
Magit isn't exactly a library (although I think it is also that). It's more of an application that happens to be implemented within emacs. There's a number of commercial git clients, so paying for Magit doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
Using those three characteristics as necessary conditions for authoritarian dictatorship excludes many actual historical authoritarian dictatorships as well.
The problem I've had with french presses is sediment and overextraction. How do you deal?
>Writers need paid...

The thing is that so little of what you read in various online news sources was actually "written" by reporters in the classical sense of the man in the beige raincoat with a "Press" ticket in his hat-band, frntically scribbling shorthand in a notebook, before phoning in his story.

The vast, vast majority of news articles concerning national and international news are pretty much copy/pasted from news agencies like Reuters [0] or AP [1]

[0] https://www.reuters.com/

[1] https://www.ap.org/en/

So, yes, writers deserve to get paid. And, through news agency licensing fees, the original writers of such articles are. But how much does the person who bascially copy/pastes that into another site deserve to get paid?

Ironically, where the stereotype reporter, actually writing original content [that I portrayed above] does still exist, it tends to be in very local news gathering where the likes of a news agency has no interest. For example; your local village flower show, or the traffic congestion on the high street. And yet those very local news outlets are almost exclusively non-paywalled.
Why can a "theme" editor edit application code? Why do I need a developer in order to change what it looks like? Why is plug-in code not sandboxed? These are WordPress problems.

At the end of the day, if you tell me that WordPress is an application framework, that themes are code and plugins are dependencies, then okay -- devs own it and there's code reviews and staging environments and deployments and migrations and all the rest.

But if you tell me it's a CMS so marketing people can have a blog, I just ... thought it would be simpler.
This happens with me, too, sometimes. Are you aware of how to execute git cli commands through Magit? (From memory, it's exclamation, !)

As for whether it's Magit or you, I suspect it's git. Git is complicated.
> one can debate the morality of funding book clubs with taxpayers' money

You could debate it but I would find it hard to find better uses of that money if it is spent on those would otherwise not be able to afford such things.
Damn that sounds awesome! As a Swede myself I feel like I missed out, and I wonder why I never saw anything like this in my youth?

My best theory is there wasn't much in the very rural area where I grew up. There wasn't much of anything other than nature to be fair, so that kinda makes sense I guess...

I looked at the project's sponsorship on GitHub, Patreon and OpenCollective. Guessing the average GitHub sponsor donates $3/mo, he's at ~$1,360/mo before fees and taxes. If the GitHub average is $6/mo, that's ~$2,140. The GitHub average would have to be $30/mo to hit $100k/yr.

(Wasn't sure if you were suggesting he's earning 100+k/year)
You need it, not them. Python is the biggest threat to their vendor-lockin business model. Mathematica is so hard to use because they want you to invest sunk cost into learning the Wolfram Way.

Britain was mostly able to fight because the French fleet was sunk which shielded them from a massive invasion and Russia weakened France. By themselves they wouldn’t have done much.

Good job Russ Cox. Despite initial concerns around this the right decision was made. Opt in is the morally correct choice for any software community. Notably I will opt into this where it is appropriate.
"part of the appeal of Wordpress is ease of use for non-developers to update their website."

Seems like in every HN thread regarding Wordpress this is brought up, but later the thread fills up with horror stories of sites being melted down when non-technical users are left to manage these Wordpress sites. Just my two cents, but that supposed benefit of Wordpress seems more like wishful thinking.
There’s also a valid key pre-brood war that was something like “1234567890123”

That's getting you thr point where you may as well pay for a lifetime license for a real computer.
That is a big change.

After June 2023 Docker Compose v1 will officially no longer be supported. I probably won't switch right then and there to the new filename but that is at least one ball moving in the right direction to switch over to the new file.

The other problem is more of a human one. There's 7+ years worth of blog posts, videos and documentation referencing docker-compose.yml. Having all of those become invalid is a big price to pay when onboarding new folks to Docker. When learning something new, it stinks when you find conflicting or different information all over the place.

Long story short, I will switch to using it but it's going to take time.
Oh good point, my bad. I was skimming for "runs" (more of a piano term) and missed the bits about "rolls". I also wasn't aware that this is a thing in tetris. Very cool!

But the users can still report issues.

And Golang also has the yearly survey that gives much more valuable inputs than telemetry could track IMHO.

I think that the author has kind of a Stockholm syndrome.

"Users are liars, so let's spy them directly to know what we want to know".

It is mind blowing how, as an user/the target, you can support that.

Nothing is really anonymous and your anonymous data can say a lot about you.

Telemetry coming from this IP, so company x is using go. A pattern of data coming every 2 days, so their build nodes rebuild every 2 days. That kind of build pattern is there, so they are using the xxx crypto library...

And when they say, let's trust Google, I would propose to Google to accept the opposite:

Now they will transmit to the public telemetry of their internal systems: how many users, what do they do, how many users they block, for what reason, how many build nodes they have, how many commits, how long the go team is spending looking at telemetry reports, which website are the more visited by Google employees,...

And let's see if they will accept. It's for the good of the world, why they would refuse?
Religion is increasingly a political signifier in the USA now. Many MAGA Trump supporters who claim to be Evangelical don't even go to church on any regular basis. "Secular Evangelicalism" is huge in the USA South.

This trend started with William Branham (progenitor of Latter Rain cult, The Message cult, prosperity gospel, healing-campaign revivalism ... leading to the current New Apostolic Reformation) and his mentor Roy E. Davis (Klan leader) in the 1930s. They started a political white supremacist cult with a religious bent. These two spawned a plethora of "heretical" movements still going strong today, a fusion of supremacist, new age ideas from the late 1800s, anti-communist, and evangelical/pentecostal ideas.

(Refer to the "Leaving The Message" YouTube channel. These guys, Branham and Davis, spawned the hydra.)

Edit: clarity, additional points

Synthetics are usually based on Castor oil, from Castor beans; presumably the same processes could take olive oil as a feed stock. Using it bare would probably gum up the engine once it got too hot.

In a similarly silly vein: you can use Pepto-Bismol as brake fluid, and it can help show recent leaks with the color difference. It can even clog some pinhole leaks all on its own, it crusts as it dries. Its not a good idea, but it might be better than trying to drive a car with no brakes at all.

In that scenario, not going opt-out is not a mistake. But going opt-in probably is a mistake, because the data will be useless, so it’s a waste of time to implement.

But the creators (someone trying to be "owners" of sowmth5 that is just a name, lol) has the foresight to make it free and open source, so we have Tencity, the original software with a new name.
No one in France talks about western culture. The main parties which have made Islam a theme are staunchly anti-American.

France has had a strong separation between the state and religion for a century. It’s one of the less religious country in the world and a significant part of the population is still strongly against any kind of religion especially the Catholic Church.
It has been excellent, best browser game engine imo - however as of Godot 4, the web export is completely broken, unfortunately. Godot with C# straight up has no web export and no mobile export atm, just desktop.

Why would data be useless?
I really appreciate this point, and I think it applies very broadly. Good design comes from a coherent, individual (or group) vision. Citing examples will only incite discussions, because everyone has a different needs and ideas, but the things I most appreciate in tech and art share this common aspect.

As I see it, relying on excessive telemetry, surveys, focus-groups, etc is a bit of an indication that nobody at the top has a strong idea of where to take the project.
They have to use Mono. New .NET Core Runtime does not yet support all platforms that Mono used to support, and won't for a while.

Fair enough, and now I know.

But would you also agree it's a totally insane capability, let alone default, for a CMS to offer a web interface to edit its own running application code? With no VCS integrated or rollback mechanism...

I was too naive to know I should look for a thing like that to disallow.
This article reads oddly, like one of those old "in flight" magazines" passenger airplanes used to have in the seat back pockets.
> x64 has evolved quite dramatically since its inception

Can you expound on this? Besides AES acceleration and virtualization support, I don't know of any features on modern x64 CPUs that would be a limiting factor in an OS that doesn't 'require' TPM support.
Oh there are numerous alternatives to Heroku. Just look for "PaaS" and your favourite software components (programming language, DB, CDN etc) and you'll find a list.
I find Platform.sh is an excellent alternative to Heroku, dare I say better. Same thing - configure once and operate forever, scale as you need...
Really Heroku used to be a big name but it is now declining, and lets face it - many used it just because it had a tiny plan for free.
Sure you can, but it won't last. Also I've read these types of articles before and they seem to focus on using some vegetable based oil for the engine while not realizing that oils are used in several components of a car to keep them running. Brakes, power steering, transmission, differentials, bearings, etc...

The engine is the place least friendly to oil, that includes dino oil or even synthetics, which is why it's the commonly known oil in a car. Because it's constantly changed. Plant based oils probably wouldn't work well in a automatic transmission as those generally have friction modifiers added . Using something like olive oil in the power steering system or in hydraulic brakes would probably fare a bit better but again heat death would take its toll.

While any oil is usually better than no oil for the short term, the big problem with these plant-based oils is the oxidation breakdown under higher temperatures. Many of these oils will go rancid over time and gum up into a polymer and that time gets shorter when they are exposed to heat.
1. The consequences of playing loud sounds with no protection are unlikely to involve open flames. You're just going to fry speaker coils, after which they won't sound good (or make much sound at all).

2. Apple doesn't implement TrustZone. They don't even implement EL3 (the exception level typically used for TZ) in their Arm core designs, just EL0 (userspace), EL1 (kernel), and EL2 (VM monitor). They appear to have completely rejected the concept of an above-the-OS supervisor responsible for security and other system maintenance tasks, which is the idea behind things like TrustZone and Intel's insane System Management Mode.

3. One of the fairly novel things about Apple's Arm Macs is their secure boot infrastructure. Although it's clearly derived from iOS secure boot, it has been greatly extended, in part because (contrary to what you assume) Apple doesn't believe Macs should have to be jailbroken when users want to run something not signed by Apple. See this for more details than you probably require:

https://support.apple.com/guide/security/startup-disk-securi...

So, no jailbreak is required to boot Asahi Linux, or any other unsigned OS. Note that while Apple's documentation refers to booting an unsigned "XNU kernel" (XNU being the macOS kernel), the binary doesn't actually have to be XNU. In Asahi's case, it's a bootloader which loads another bootloader which loads the Linux kernel. (IIRC - I might have that chain a bit wrong.)

Also, if you want to take the time to read through all of that link, you'll find Apple did put a lot of thought into making it possible to bypass while simultaneously keeping it quite robust against malware. Barring truly horrific implementation flaws, it should be impossible to remotely automate the bypass, and the procedure is designed to provide some level of warning to victims of social engineering. And, it's a per-OS preference, so you don't have to reduce the security of your macOS install at all if you just want to play around with Asahi on a different partition.

Even more interesting - the low-security "unsigned" boot path is technically still signed, in a very useful way. Attesting that you'd like to boot an unsigned "XNU kernel" stores the "XNU" binary's cryptographic signature in Apple's Secure Enclave. Every time you boot it, its signature is checked to make sure it hasn't been modified since you authorized it. Which means... if that binary is a loader which does its own cryptographic signature check on the next stage loader, which does its own check on the next stage (or Linux kernel etc), you've built your own secure boot chain on top of Apple's, without having to ask Apple to sign anything. Pretty cool.
From the about page of their web site (https://pulsar-edit.dev/about.html):

"The team behind Pulsar is a community that came about naturally after the announcement of Atom's Sunset and decided that they needed to do something about it to keep their favorite editor alive. This is a true community-led project to modernize, update and improve the original Atom project into a contemporary, hackable and fully open editor."
So we'll keep the free pass until there is no living memory of any wrong doing against black people. Then we will only have living memory of the "free pass" and we will need to adjust back right? I mean, all we will "livingly" remember is the free pass after all, time to correct for that.

At some point people who are truly after equality need to look for justice in the future, not revenge for the past.

As for your ex-girlfriend, I have no clue how one individual being held responsible for "shitty things" compares to an entire race of people being held responsible for what their ancestors from many generations ago did. I will never apologize or feel guilty for what people who happened to have the same skin color as me did 100 years ago.
Maybe in English, but you have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes. My Eastern European in-laws are hooked on Russian propaganda/disinfo and its all delivered to them in their language or Russian and its not coming from RT.

Having said that, I always chuckle at Americans who are so suspicious of RT given that they platform people like Cornell West and Chris Hedges who are absolutely blacklisted in western media.

I have no idea what the point of this comment is, other than everything sucks. :sigh:
I just checked and you are again right, I had my facts wrong about THAAD deployment timeline.

It maybe a defensive weapon but when you're a NATO member by way of article 5 along with everything else NATO offers it becomes yours to use. If canada and mexico were russia's allies and russia had a similar technology, would we dismiss it for being purely defensive or work against our neighbors (as with cuba) to change that? Russia's main military strength is their nuclear forces, a defensive weapon changes variables in "mutually assured destruction" it is that much less mutual what the fallout from nukes would be.

I am not supporting Russian reasoning, simply describing it.
I think it's just because many single Magit commands run multiple git commands behind the scenes in order to collect all the info. So any slowdown in how long it takes to run a single command is multiplied proportionally.
I found it mentioned in a ticket from 2020, so basically Debian recent.

To be honest the situations where I needed tearing free output on multiple displays I usually ended up configuring separate X screens.
Magit is by far the best interface for using git and managing git data structures that I have ever used - and I am a vim user! Almost every emacs user I know uses or recommends Magit. It may seem like a "niche library" but in some areas of software development, it's absolutely well-known and considered the gold standard.
If any of us are looking for social proof, I've been regularly donating to magit. It's among the top quality software I've ever used.

When did the US stop being a conservative country?

From my European point of view you have a two parties system allowing you to chose between conservative and more conservative.
Unfortunately, the current conservative/nationalistic government has been trying to get it shut down. They use the guide of "tough on crime" of course, but they have been opposing money for people of lesser means for a long, long time.
Probably because in many cases the assumption is that the dev and main editor are the same person?

It's not a great assumption anymore (since many WordPress installs are now set up by agencies and dev teams for non technical clients), but it's likely a holdover from the days when most people installing it were also the main designer, developer, content writer, etc (read, bloggers).
just played with flet, don't know why it mentions flutter in its home page as I saw nowhere flutter|dart is involved.

What do you mean by "it is running on LLM?". I still don't get it. Can you clarify it even more?
I think you're right about it being a bigger deal elsewhere, and you're right about legislative reactions. I have several thoughts:

1) The U.S. population is really big. 333M or so. New Zealand is 5M? So, inflate the base rate by 66x. When doing "intuitive statistics" about this sort of thing, people think at the country level and don't adjust for population. That will remove some of the effect, but even doing that there's going to be more school shootings in the U.S. per capita, of course.

2) Gun laws don't work. The best available work on this suggests a modest decrease in murder rates at best. People who want to murder will just use alternative means. There are plenty of ways to kill schoolchildren if someone decides to do it. Easy availability of guns probably does increase the rate and deadliness, but not by all that much. Something else is going on in the U.S. Media contagion is part of it, imho.

3) The extent to which people pay attention to astronomically unlikely things like school shootings really doesn't make any sense. As I estimate somewhere else in these comments, the likelihood of a child in the U.S. being shot and killed at school is about double that of being struck and killed by lightning. Though it's a tragic spectacle when it happens, it's not something worth worrying about. The irony is nobody gives a shit about stuff that might actually kill your kids, like drowning, car crashes, etc. People are so, so very nonchalant about things that are actually risky...
