Worth remembering this is only the case if you buy a retail license.

If you cheaped out with an OEM license, you are your own customer support and Microsoft won't help you.

If you bought a laptop or pre-made desktop, you have an OEM license provided to you by whoever manufactured your computer and they are your customer support; Microsoft won't help you.

That’s not true. I’ve experienced this once before that I can remember, on https://hackmii.com/ and it doesn’t happen on my home network except on actual scam sites which isn’t a government thing but an ISP feature that can probably be turned off. This is a Vodaphone thing, not a UK thing.

I don’t care that much about this specific site, I guess I just want to complain that they don’t have a way to report false positives which maybe isn’t the best reason to post a comment on an unrelated article but still
Aunty sent me pictures of this night aurora in Latvia... it is more southwards than Stockholm. I was amazed. And sorry that I didn't know I had to be up to see it too for the first time in my life... eh

Nuclear appears to be economically uncompetitive with renewables + storage. This is why it's really hard to get nuclear plants funded these days, while it's much easier to get renewables and storage funded. The market is telling you something; listen.
Sure, but the comment you're replying to was not saying it's a wonderful place to work, they were saying that the initial statement of "made in sweatshops outside of Europe" isn't true, which it isn't. No matter if the workplace is terrible or not, it's not outside of Europe.
It could also be to do with the word “hack” because https://hackmii.com/ is blocked too
You assume that that is indeed the mechanism behind cancer.

That is an hypothesis. Not fact.
While I agree with your conclusion, unless by "nature" you mean "human nature," the statement

is absolutely false. Race is a cultural construct and has little to do with biology or national origin.

That is interesting to game developers and creatives (like movie EFX folks). They can have huge assets, and Git is pretty terrible at large binaries.

That's why Perforce is still popular in the gaming industry. It handles big files, very well.
"heuristically naughty" may be my new favorite phrase.
I'm all in for allowing alternate OSes, don't get me wrong :).

I'm just saying that for most people it's a bad idea, especially regarding Linux.
Linux's security is abysmal because the desktop security model is fundamentally flawed.

Take Flatpak for example. While it is a big step forward in terms of portability, ease of use and security, it is still allows applications to pick their permissions themselves. Even dangerous ones like X11 display server access, full file system access or camera access.

However, there already is a number of secure open source alternative mobile OSes based on Android, GrapheneOS for example.

Also, driver blobs for modems are often out-of-date and insecure. Making the phone drivers fully open source will probably not happen.

If you know what you’re doing, installing a different OS onto can be liberating and good for the environment – most of the time the hardware is perfectly fine, just the software becomes more bloated and slower as the device ages. It’s just - in my opinion - more risky.
> I've never seen a production ready web framework or library that would let your entire process crash because of a bad request.

This is true and just to clarify on your clarification patients have been unable to get a CPAP replacement for years. In some places they would be offered things like special pillows as a substitute.

Special pillows are in no way a substitute for positive airway pressure/airway splinting.

Heh, yeah. But one form of cp isn't socially accepted at all, while the other one is. The one which is, is much much much easier to find.

Now that I think of it: it (rampant piracy of audio and video) is a great practical example to teens why they should not share pictures of themselves naked. If someone wants to, it gets spread. Even if there's 'copyright protection'. In some circles, Snapchat is seen as seriously private. Which is very ignorant, and has lead to situations like blackmailing and retaliation porn.

1. Java,

2. Inferno,

4. Squeak (Apple, Walt Disney Imagineering)

5. Erlang (Ericsson, Joe Armstrong) still going strong.

IMHO, Technologically Java was the worst and least innovative. Platform adaption is "Worse is Better" so Java won.

Oberon, Erlang and Squeak were are all amazing in their own way.

Also doesn't AWS have a history of Microsoft style EEE, where they embrace an open source project, make a service from it, extend that service in a non-open way and then push people to use their extended non-open service instead of improving upstream?

Hasn't this resulted in a number of projects changing their licensing to prevent it?

Out of interest... why? From what I can tell the community really seems to be adopting pyproject.toml as the standard and most tools are supporting it as their primary or only configuration option now. A few are using setup.cfg, but that seems to be for legacy reasons rather than an active decision. I'm not a huge fan of TOML as a configuration format personally, but it's at least more capable than cfg files. I'm really keen to know why you feel cfg support would be useful.

"That person is high school teacher Christoph Schuhmann, and LAION, short for “Large-scale AI Open Network,” is his passion project. When Schuhmann isn’t teaching physics and computer science to German teens, he works with a small team of volunteers building the world’s biggest free AI training data set, which has already been used in text-to-image generators such as Google’s Imagen and Stable Diffusion.

Databases like LAION are central to AI text-to-image generators, which rely on them for the enormous amounts of visual material used to deconstruct and create new images. The debut of these products late last year was a paradigm-shifting event: it sent the tech sector’s AI arms race into hyperdrive and raised a myriad of ethical and legal issues. Within a matter of months, lawsuits had been filed against generative AI companies Stability AI and Midjourney for copyright infringement, and critics were sounding the alarm about the violent, sexualized, and otherwise problematic images within their datasets, which have been accused of introducing biases that are nearly impossible to mitigate."
Oh ok. Thanks!
Rust also relies on a GC for the more dynamic lifetimes in Rust programs (reference counting), it just doesn't call it a GC, and while Rust's GC has a lower footprint than tracing GCs, it has worse performance and it suffers from cycle problems. I wouldn't call it "bug ridden" (perhaps "limited" is a better term), but it is slow.

Some think that reference counting gives better performance predictability than a tracing GC, but that is no longer true, certainly compared to the generational ZGC presented here. If you could determine the time where the collection would take place with a refcounting GC, i.e. when the last reference is cleared, you wouldn't need a refcounting GC. It is unpredictable pretty much by definition.

A look at some of their financials has the trading at 32 times earnings where Apple trades at 28 and Coca-Cola trades at 29. So for luxury that doesn’t seem too high and from the list I have heard of a number of their brands. There is certainly value in a brand name, which is why I used two examples of other known brands in other industries. This lvmh company though is also growing at almost 20% per quarter. My guess also is during a mild recession luxury goods tend to hold up. While I wouldn’t buy it myself because I know nothing of luxury goods based on the businesses I see listed not all in clothing which I had assumed I would say the brand names may not be as significantly valued as one might think.
To put it in perspective, a new car typically has a 3-5 year warranty while a new phone has a one year warranty (unless the local law requires a longer warranty).

Dammit, sorry .. that was RISC-II.

"The other major change was to include an instruction-format expander, which invisibly "up-converted" 16-bit instructions into a 32-bit format. This allowed smaller instructions, typically things with one or no operands, like NOP, to be stored in memory in a smaller 16-bit format, and for two such instructions to be packed into a single machine word. The instructions would be invisibly expanded back to 32-bit versions before they reached the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), meaning that no changes were needed in the core logic. This simple technique yielded a surprising 30% improvement in code density, making an otherwise identical program on Blue run faster than on Gold due to the decreased number of memory accesses."

Louis Vuitton brand alone might not, but LVMH is an umbrella brand whose brands do manufacture in China.

Even for Louis Vuitton, having them in Europe is about sweatshop-washing, plus some nice "main" workshops to show to the press, Potemkin village style.

And such wordings "The Louis Vuitton leather goods collections are exclusively produced in our workshops located in France, Spain, Italy and the United States" are worth almost nothing, given how lax the law is for businesses saying such things. There are "percentages" allowed (if X% is being made in Y, you can still call the product made in Z, even if it's the hardest/more work intensive part), there are tricks like naming where you do the final assembly, even mere final packaging in some cases.

And you can always just recreate nice sweatshop style environments domestically, complete with migrant labor, below minimum wage, threats, and so on:

This is a much better idea for sure.

One has to accept that you cannot verbally discuss everything into being a 10, and take note of some of the risks&issues that get raised. Which re-reading your response.. I think is implied, just not stated.

Another thing is you may also get interrogation fatigue and not always get real participation in this process. Kind of like the agile stuff only works when everyone is buying in, and as soon as people are going through the motions its hours of wasted meetings.

That said, not to be negative here..

This method of collecting feedback in a way that feels low risk, if participated in only sometimes, is way better than the standard methods.

Many years ago I made TabClosedDidntRead.com - a collection of invasive overlays - to highlight this trend when it first started (and wrote it up [0] though much of that probably doesn't stand up so well now). I had to stop collecting them after a few months as it became most sites rather than some sites, and things have only gotten much worse since. It looks like TC;DR is no longer up, presumably I just lost hope at some point.

I'm able bodied, but years back suffered tremendous pain, that led to me having to lie down on my back and use the computer with a keyboard. And TBH even that was a pain. I got quite far under OSX tiger, and browse the web. Use a terminal etc. But at the time it led me into thinking about alternative interfaces. And the one thing that did catch my eye was 'dasher' for text entry. Which could be controlled with a simple pointer. And it did make me wonder how far you could go with a pointer based interface. I wasn't that fast while trying it out. But could construct sentences with a bit of effort.

https://www.inference.org.uk/dasher/

I've been thinking about it some more recently, as AI could assist with word completion, and augmenting it with some AI helpers could really improve things. And if the idea was extended.

Not wanting to sound like an able-ist snob, but interfacing with traditional computers with a keyboard is hard. And the interface is clumsy. Even touch devices and keyboards. My Mum could never use a computer, but she has worked out how to use a tablet and find videos on Youtube. I keep meaning to introduce her to voice input. As this would really benefit her.

Despite the huge tech leaps with smartphones and tablets and what not, I do feel there has been a huge regression in basic communication between people only exacerbated by the pandemic. There's knowledge available easily at people's fingertips and that's great, along with new channels of communication. But text based comms have retarded many people.

You can catch these with Node but I wouldn’t do it - if it’s not explicitly handled then it’s either a bug or something really bad happened and the app needs to get alarm bells ringing.

Though ideally, web frameworks such as NestJs is already handled the rejection on request level and can be override easily with Filters. Yeah I know express isn't handled, you'll need to handle it yourself.

This is literally the use case that every large enterprise wants.

Why? The potential cost savings are enormous. A significant percentage of white collar jobs primarily involve performing repetitive tasks and answering frequently asked questions. If you could automate even 20% of this........
Yep: this is definitely a valid alternative.

The reasons we went with one binary are:

- We can ensure common runtime setup by only having one codepath that runs the initialisation. It's nice that every deployment definitely instantiates the Prometheus server and initialises secrets from Google Secret Manager at the same point and in the same way.

- Compiling three targets adds time to our build process. Even when Go will cache much of the compilation, linking separate binaries is still another ~30s and ~300MB of binary to our resulting docker image.

- It's very convenient in development to run all deployments inside of a single binary for hot-reloading purposes. This is how we develop the app locally.

I don't think it makes much difference which you choose in terms of the operational elements. But for the reasons above, there are clear advantages to the single binary for our use cases.

Chuck Jones believed in the “disciplines” one had to maintain for a cartoon, the constraints within which one acted. In the Road Runner cartoons, no one talked, though there could be signage, the action always centered on two, and only two, characters, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, and it always takes place in the outdoors in the American Southwest. These cartoons play with reality and engage in a guessing game with the audience in doing so. What’s Opera, Doc? goes beyond a string of gags end engages in a story about the relationship between Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny. Finally Daffy Duck and Porky Pig venture into space in Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century, which satirizes incompetence and self-generating conflict.

Not sure about this. Luxury goods stocks are famously cyclical, and tends to be something people drop quickly if they cannot afford during business downturns, as other more vital purchases takes preference. At least compared to stocks for big general stores etc.
