Unfortunately the only “real world” examples I can personally think of for craft guilds are from more than a century ago, making them quite poor examples of the practice in a modern context. However if your not opposed to a little bit of history, I’d recommend checking out the history of craft guilds which goes back well over a millennium and it represents one of the earliest forms of “qualification” outside of religious or spiritual contexts (since determining if you have a suitable priest of Zeus, etc… has basically been a thing since forever)

Chrome used to be tied into Keychain but they went their own way a long time ago, which is a damn shame.
> Encoding video is so expensive that you can only realistically support one or two codecs at a given time. Anything else is wasteful.

Even consumer nVidia cards support at least three simultaneous encode streams, which would be perfectly cromulent for a relay-only streaming service (high / medium / phone).
The way that I stay optimistic is to think about how awareness of these issues is growing. As they say, knowing is half the battle.

More people are concerned about climate change now, and the younger generations are more concerned than ever. Hopefully that leads to people in general making better choices, and more importantly, electing people who aren't deep in the pockets of the fossil fuel industry.
There seems to be a Google Chrome extension called "iCloud Passwords" but it only has two stars, so I don't think you'll be positively surprised.

Also, on iPhone it's ok-ish but on Mac the experience is a subpar too: Keychain, the app you use to view your passwords, feels like a 90s Visual Basic application. Plus you can't organize your accounts, and even if you prefix them to "sort by name", the special name you give is lost after using it.

On the other hand, I already have other Apple cloud stuff and kinda trust them, so I suffer through it. And other password managers aren't anything to write home about either to make me change :/

Everything is superior to C macros, that’s like the worst thing ever created. Honestly, C is not a good language but if it would have had at least a proper macro system it could at least be remotely usable, e.g. having proper generic data structures.
I'm not talking about conspiracy theory content.

Consider the most recent geopolitical conflict involving the US, the war in Ukraine. There are a number of articles on NPR's website about the possibility of the US sending F-16 jets to Ukraine.

I've read many of them, and they tend to support the US sending planes. Some of these articles include quotes from Ukrainian defense officials who are obviously in favor. Some articles speculate as to why the US has not done so (e.g. the overhead of training pilots).

My issue with the reporting is that the writers never really bothered to explain the arguments from the opposing side. Obviously, this decision involves many tradeoffs and it was not taken lightly. NPR's reporting on this subject was not very informative and it just left me asking more questions. As a reader, I want to understand the tradeoffs behind important decisions.

This isn't the only topic with shoddy reporting. It's just the first one I noticed where activism got in the way of journalism. There are legitimate arguments in support of both sides of this issue (and I say this as a supporter of Ukraine). Readers are entitled to read/hear them, and writers should present them fairly.
I think the reason Apple hasn't prioritized this is that with their login with Apple implementations and passkeys, the utility of copying/pasting or looking up a password is dropping over time.
Jetbrain's Rust mode for CLion, etc. will do this all over the place -- display inferred/matching types for variables, pattern matches, function arguments, etc.

But it would be unfortunate to have to rely on a tool in this way for basic language functionality.
You can make an iOS shortcut to make it appear as an "app" (launches keychain manager). I did this for some elderly folk, works great.
I just do cmd+space -> type "pass" -> Return -> fingerprint. That gets me to my iCloud Keychain. I used to use Keychain Access but like the UI of the Passwords tab of Settings more.

Interesting. Is that a service banks offer? I suppose that it would mean that the bank truly could not lend against deposits that use this mechanism, so I wonder how much they would charge for this.
Binance.us and United States Binance users cause harm in US markets, so it’s a US problem. If the harm were tiny or really hard to fight, e.g. all the existing off-shore credit card fraud, ad spam fraud, robocalls etc then the response might be different. Here the threat is one well-defined entity.
The crypto community prefers the CFTC over the SEC because they beleive that many tokens (ex: BTC and Eth) and commodities and not securities. It has nothing to do with relative strength of the groups or whether they're the good or bad cops.

How comes they're going after everybody but iFinex (Bitfinex/iFinex/tether/USDT)?

Coinbase? Going after Coinbase but letting the gangsters that do both run Bitfinex and Tether roam free?

SBF/FTX was a fraud and was iFinex's biggest customer. Billions of stolen customers money and investors funds ended directly in iFinex's stash. It's very likely the one that made lots of money when Alameda was losing it all is the iFinex gang.

Why are they walking totally free, not getting sued?

At this point I call monkey business.
PIR sensors are faster than these, though. It makes a fair bit of difference in how long the lights take to turn on when you walk in a room, so some systems use both PIR (for when someone walks in), and mmWave (for when someone is in/leaves).

While we're on the subject, other Apple things that deserve an app:

Dashboard/status

- I have a smart lock, and they have their own app, where all it really does is show the current status of the lock and let me toggle it. There are quite a few apps like this. It'd be nice if they could all be condensed into a dashboard/status app that could just tweak values and show current status. Apple Home attempts to do some of this.

Notifications

- It'd be nice if there was a notifications app, and I could set most of my apps to deliver their notifications to that app, instead of me directly. This would reduce notification overload and distraction.

I'm sure you heard about Russian receiving sanctions from the US but often when you look into the details it's restrictions against specific named Russian nationals. If you can name specific Isrealies that are involved in terrorism then you might be able to get sanctions against them but to just blanketly claim the whole country is guilty of an unspecified sanctionable offense isn't going to get you anywhere.

> The USAF and USN are just incredibly unwilling to have to compromise

I don't think that is the case. The issue is that most of the joint programs fail because they start with such a broad difference in requirements the program can't work. Here are two examples:

F-111/TFX - Navy wanted a fleet interceptor / air superiority fighter built around the Phoenix Missile. Air Force wanted a heavy attack aircraft. The F-111 led to the Navy having to do a crash development to get the F-14 Tomcat.

F-16 LWF - Navy wanted a twin engine. AF wanted single engine. Joint program died immediately... so we the taxpayers ended up with the USAF buying F-16 (great aircraft) and the Navy ordering an update on the YF-17 which became the F/A-18 Hornet (another great aircraft). Incidentally, the YF-17 was a twin engine iteration of the F-5 (which is an iteration of the T-38 Talon), and the F/A-18 is an iteration of the YF-17.

Wow, this is a great article. Obviously writing is easier than enforcing, but I'm pretty impressed with whoever at the FTC is already thinking so clearly about this stuff.
I disagree. While there are bloated images and runtimes, at least they are separate.

Unfortunately most applications are developed in a way that they believe they are the only one on the system. Ruby gets called, and they expect 2.7.

And there is another one which is using Ruby 3.2. And it's incompatible with 2.7.

Now what? Do you want to spend time

- maintaining 2 versions of ruby on a system

- keeping them separate

- ensuring they don't mix up

Ah yes, I can see this. I've also seen this kind of 'universally understandable spec of behaviour' attempted from the other direction with things like plain-language cucumber test definitions.

Emphasis on attempted, not sure I've ever seen it actually work as envisioned. Can see how bringing this directly into the code could remove some hurdles though.

Must say though I am a little skeptical on the readability / comprehensibility of the JSON format as you point out, but it's certainly a cool idea.

It think the parent's point here could be rephrased like this:

Copyright law treats "involved a human" vs. "involved a machine" as fundamentally different just because humans are special-cased, not due to any deeper reason. Just by fiat.

The law gives special consideration to humans "just because". Therefore, if one situation involves a human in a particular role and another situation involves a machine, then there is no useful analogy to be drawn -- as far as the law is concerned. Even if the analogy makes perfect sense to you and me, the law treats humans and machines as fundamentally different, so all bets are off.
> How comes they're going after everybody but iFinex (Bitfinex/iFinex/tether/USDT)?

From what I understand, the reason CFTC is involved is that bitcoin was ruled to be a commodity, and CFTC has authority over commodity derivatives. It's literally in the name.

Tether on the other hand is what? Just a number. They don't have authority over betting on numbers.

I read "The Age of the Spiritual Machines" and thought that he had a good points, and I liked the ideas he showed in the book. However, I thought that he was a bit optimistic about the timeline and capabilities of these "spiritual machines".

JIT compilers don’t actually need that low-level programming, and compilers in general use memory in a very haphazard way so they are likely better off with a GC.

In fact, you probably loose way more by not being able to write as many/great optimizations in a low-level language than what you lose on a slight overhead — e.g. Java’s Graal JIT compiler is nowadays performing better (written in Java itself) than the “original” C2 compiler which is written in C++. But this is mostly a maintainability question.

Ah, gotta love it when western expats exoticize basic things about my culture, along with exotic-sounding jargon that purports to represent something difficult to translate.

I'd like to gently, very gently float to you the idea that these people did not aid and abet criminal enterprises "because they're Chinese" or "because of Chinese culture", nor would such activities be generally permitted in Chinese culture.

Side note: the waft of casual racism from expat sites is honestly kind of hilarious.

These things are difficult because people are difficult.

My sister is a tall (6’) woman. It’s really difficult. Shorter men find her intimidating, assholes consider her fat, and insecure 6-6’4” guys get weird about heels and other things.

Men and women are picky about different things. I’m a guy and am really tall, and didn’t really care about height of a partner. Other attributes mattered more or less to me. These things are some combo of hardwired instincts, social pressures/norms, and personal preferences.

I’m glad that I missed modern online dating though.

When I was in Japan, in America-mura in Osaka, I saw an exhibit by a local skateboarding-culture photographer. I had been carrying around a Nikon CoolPix point-and-shoot with which to take tourist pictures.

It turned out that the photographer himself had been hanging around his own exhibit, and we got to talking briefly about my visit and my interest in his work (his English was pretty good). He pointed to the camera and said "Can I see?" I let him leaf through my camera's memory filled with photos from the trip, random things that caught my interest. He handed me the camera back and said "These are some good shots."

I was really chuffed to hear this pro compliment my random tourist shots. He must have liked my eye and my composition instincts because the camera was rinky-dink by pro standards and didn't allow me fine-grained control over exposure, aperture size, etc.

I know this sounds a bit like a "things that didn't happen for $400, Alex" story, but it totally did happen. Maybe he was flattering me, I dunno. But it helped me appreciate casual photography with cheap equipment as something with its own aesthetic merit.

My brief time in Japan was amazing all around.
Funny situation, there's another thread I was replying to someone who wanted to shift back to native apps instead of cross plat electron apps (for performance reasons).

Well, Apple Passwords on Windows is a good example of how that turns out in reality. I believe it's using WinUI. While the performance is nice, the experience is entirely unlike what you get on Mac and winds up making you wish you were using another service entirely.

The crux of the NixOS issue right here. I tried NixOS a few times, even this past weekend, and it was such a pain that I gave up each time!

I am planning to integrate Nix (the package manager) into my recent fresh OS install if I have some time this week. I want to use Nix to have, at the very least, a controllable way to install and remove toolchains of different versions in a reproducible manner; if I can swing it I am going to use it to install pretty much anything that requires any sort of configuration care (the rest I'll just use apt). I also want to integrate more tools like asdf or pyenv which help with that, but I prefer if I could do it all through one package manager like Nix. I finally separated my /home into another drive this time, so that'll be nice for future re-installs.

In fact much of "debugging" when I was writing Haskell was to increasingly hand type-annotate stuff to catch where my assumptions were flawed. Definitely,
top-level exported entries almost all get an explicit signature is it's part of the documentation.

Rust's level of type inference feels very natural to me and I don't miss what additional inference Haskell provided.

How Does Motorcycle Self Balancing Works
Languages tend to avoid having parsing ambiguities and syntaxes that require unbounded lookahead, because things like that make parsers slower and/or more complex. This is a pain not just for the compiler, but also syntax highlighting, IDEs and other tooling. Languages also need to consider future syntax extensions and ability to give good error messages for syntax errors. This usually requires some redundancy and extra sigils or keywords.

Here `full = true` is a valid expression syntax, and it'd be problematic if `{` could start a block of code here. This case may be parseable unambiguously thanks to `Tea` ident in the front, but e.g. if Zig ever wanted to add something like Swift's final closure syntax, then `expr { expr }` could become valid, and this would be ambiguous.

In Rust `if struct {}` is a parsing edge case. JS has ambiguous `{field: value}` objects and `{label: code}` blocks. CSS struggles to add nested rules, because syntaxes of `selector { property:value` and `selector { selector:selector` overlap, and that requires slower and/or more complicated parsers.
Well if they really want to block US persons from using Binance (which is against freedom btw) they can simply block access, watch out for bank transfers to/from within US etc.

While there are always workarounds, if people want to use something, they should be allowed to use it (as long as it doesn't harm others of course, which doesn't in this case).

In no way US should be able to do anything to CZ as long as he doesn't enter US soil, physically in person.

The grain and quality seem to match the external photos, so I think it's the same camera. John must have had enough media training to know not to spike the camera like we usually do for selfies, he's valiantly scanning the horizon instead.
