oh it was definitely dangerous, we rolled up to the parking lot ready to fight... and I am incredibly relieved that it wasn't necessary. my buddy was like "let's wait for them to come out of the store!" - like no dude, I just want my car back.

It's not about what it's worth - although obviously, I'm attached to my car, I've had it a while and I'm fond of it - it's about what's right. My car belongs to me. Someone took it from me. I have to take it back. That's just how it works for me. Otherwise, what good is property or privacy? What good are boundaries that you don't enforce?
That paywall is symptomatic of the ACM being a professional society for computer science professors and not software practitioners. If you go to the editorial section of CACM it is frequently stuck in a loop as every decade or so there are violent ups and downs of CS program enrollment driven by the realization that “cs students are in demand” and then “IT jobs suck”, the latter of which could be addressed by having a professional society for software practitioners…
If there were a bicycle manufacturer that knowingly made its bikes easier to steal and sell, AND those bicycles when stolen were linked to numerous horrific collisions resulting in death and major injury of innocent parties, then there might be a comparison.
The value of the check mark (to twitter and non-verified users) was never that it was "cool", it was that you knew the account wasn't a random bot/troll/throwaway. That's something Musk clearly didn't understand because the blue check now has basically no value at all. The fact that a lot of people think it's uncool to have a checkmark now is just another self-inflicted challenge the company has to overcome.

It's worse than that. I'll send a legitimate email with an attachment named wallet.zip, and in the body say "download wallet.zip". Now the email client changes wallet.zip to a link. The email is not phishing. The <wallet.zip> site can be maliciously registered, knowing people will inadvertently mention "wallet.zip" in emails and may click the link.
That assumes Brexit had no affect on the rest of the EU. Seems unlikely to me.
The amount of value that ChatGPT has given me is enough where I don't care at all if my own tutorials and documentation has been scraped to expand the model's knowledge. I'm not profiting off my work either way, and if helps people understand things it's honestly a plus.
Although I definitely understand the frustration from people having their copyrighted material used to compete against them, the pushback from artists against image generation from copyrighted data sets is 100% warranted.

Honestly, while I have a running boycott of consoles on moral grounds (Steam Deck notwithstanding), I feel like the Switch and PS4 are the best systems in quite a while, both for the variety of independent/AA games in all genres on them, and the retro arcade game ports M2 and Hamster are churning out at a steady and ever increasing pace.
Why is it that "it's correct" is something worth mentioning? Presumably if it's not correct it's either not an implementation, or not known that it's not correct.
Despite being 50yo and much more of a PC guy than a console gamer, I actually pre-ordered TOTK. Even though BOTW was my first Zelda game and also my first open-world console action/RPG, I really enjoyed it and was impressed with what they were able to accomplish.
> Throughout the 2010s, Google has easily been one of the most insidiously corrupting forces on the internet, rivaled by none. Its takeover of the modern web through utter domination of the search engine market, chokehold over web standards, and near complete monopolization of web browsers has rendered much of the world beholden to it.

Preach!

I appreciate your response, and it's interesting to me that we've come to many of the same conclusions. Exercise has always felt good for me, but it became an absolutely necessity once I started taking ritalin. I took up rowing (it's a great full-body workout) and it's been a boon for my general health.

I also take magnesium (threonate, in my case), although I did that initially to help prevent migraines, along with fish oil, zinc & B vitamins.

I have not tried citrulline, arginine, or dipotassium phosphate. What benefits would you say those provide?

Sending most of the citizens below retirement age of a province to concentration camps certainly seems like a normalized practice in China today.

It was wrong when we did the same here in the USA with Japanese Americans (George Takei wrote about his time there) and we should not normalize this mass imprisonment without individual right to fair trial.
Error is unavoidable, the problem is that they are erring on the wrong side and not fixing their mistake in a timely manner.

Estimates should include some factor of safety so they are still adequate even with the error, and they should be regularly reevaluated so that discrepancies do not persist long enough to result in production shortages. As previously noted, the DEA's restrictions have been significantly too low for years.

In Pharo Launcher, go to "VMs" and try to delete the VM. Pharo should work on Windows just fine. If not, please, report it on the issue tracker with more details.

> BTW, Smalltalk/X has a fully functional REPL, including console based Inspector and debugger. Imagine what would happen if you suggested providing such functionality in Pharo... ("only masochists can bear working with terminal", the "incredible" community says)

You should not generalize in this way. Some people are working on the TUI Spec backend to allow all the tools to run from the console, and I don't know anyone who doesn't realize the importance of keyboard control.
Makes me wonder how big a role did the "Jew Quota" or similar discriminatory practices played in holding back the likes of Columbia. Also whether we will see a similar effect over next 50 years with affirmative vs non-affirmative schools.
I remain flabbergasted that Brexit happened but wasn't the overwhelming victory of Boris Johnson & the conservative party at the end of 2019 basically a re-statement by the population that they wanted it?

IIRC that was basically a single issue election after which Brexit was more or less fast-tracked without continued internal opposition.

Up until that point there had been a series of delays and rejections of Brexit plans in parliament and it looked like it might not happen.

(I'm not British and have only watched this from afar so I'm actually curious about if this read is accurate.)

A lot of this discussion reminds me of this talk:"Netflix built its own monitoring system - and why you probably shouldn't"
(https://www.infoq.com/presentations/netflix-monitoring-syste...) where Roy Rappport describes Netflix as a "monitoring system that happens to stream movies"

As someone who spent a few years at New Relic and Lacework, I can also say that pricing observability fairly is crazy hard when you account for different architectures, usage pricing, and the humans experience the value.
The way the Chinese government talks about things tends to not be that accurate. The Uyghurs are not terrorists. They are an ethnic minority that is being terrorized and subjected to genocide by the Chinese government.

By cutting edge technology, I meant the latest products that are better than the earlier ones.

I work in bioinformatics, where people typically use either gzip or domain-specific compressors. gzip is used for the reasons I mentioned. It works, it's usually good enough, and if people in another organization you've never heard of want to use your compressed files, they can do so without bothering you with support requests.

zstd would be faster and compress better, but because you can't be sure everyone else can use it, you don't even bother thinking about it. The saved computational resources are probably not worth it. On the other hand, anything that makes gzip faster is valuable, as it allows saving computational resources without taking any interoperability risks.

I didn't say the gzip replacement must be better than gzip in every aspect. I said it must not be substantially worse. bzip2 was substantially worse, because it was substantially slower.

The fascinating thing about is that while we will obviously see a rise of crap overall, organic labor will become even more expensive, because actual expertise and knowledge will be that much rarer.

I try not to see it in absolutes. It appears that it will be a big shift on how things are done, but it will also further change my perception of privacy. Just the other day I read a story about Wendy's doing a test run in their drive through. I shiver at all that information hoovered down at every single step. And here I was thinking Transmetropolitan was a crazy fantasy.

There is already a federated platform not controlled by SV.

Dear Ben,

I am writing to you asking your advice regarding Bluesky's EULA and its 'interesting' IP clauses, and also the fact that establishment press is now pushing "federated" and mentioning Mastodon (doesn't have a EULA) and Bluesky next to each other, like happy campers and fellow travellers.

So my question sir is would you join Bluesky and agree to the EULA?

-- the reply finally came through the pony express --

Dear Sir,

In the Affair of so much Importance to you, wherein you ask my Advice, I cannot for want of sufficient Premises, advise you what to determine, but if you please I will tell you how.

When these difficult Cases occur, they are difficult chiefly because while we have them under Consideration all the Reasons pro and con are not present to the Mind at the same time; but sometimes one Set present themselves, and at other times another, the first being out of Sight. Hence the various Purposes or Inclinations that alternately prevail, and the Uncertainty that perplexes us.

To get over this, my Way is, to divide half a Sheet of Paper by a Line into two Columns, writing over the one Pro, and over the other Con. Then during three or four Days Consideration I put down under the different Heads short Hints of the different Motives that at different Times occur to me for or against the Measure.

When I have thus got them all together in one View, I endeavour to estimate their respective Weights; and where I find two, one on each side, that seem equal, I strike them both out: If I find a Reason pro equal to some two Reasons con, I strike out the three. If I judge some two Reasons con equal to some three Reasons pro, I strike out the five; and thus proceeding I find at length where the Ballance lies; and if after a Day or two of farther Consideration nothing new that is of Importance occurs on either side, I come to a Determination accordingly.

And tho’ the Weight of Reasons cannot be taken with the Precision of Algebraic Quantities, yet when each is thus considered separately and comparatively, and the whole lies before me, I think I can judge better, and am less likely to make a rash Step; and in fact I have found great Advantage from this kind of Equation, in what may be called Moral or Prudential Algebra.

Wishing sincerely that you may determine for the best, I am ever, my dear Friend, Yours most affectionately

B Franklin
I think you do a Skill Based CV instead.
Why S M and B?
I genuinely believe this one change in the name of 'aesthetics' (or whatever justification was created for this) has caused real, material hurt for people.
I don't think you realize how easy it is to steal these cars. Look up a few videos. You rip off the plastic on the steering column, pry out the ignition cylinder and then use the A end of a usb cable to turn the exposed nub to start the car. Under 30 seconds. While there are other issues going on, this is gross negligence on Kia/Hyundai to not use an immobilizer.
Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace landed rockets vertically, years before SpaceX did (albeit much smaller ones). He built the company as a hobbyist labor of love and it won NASA's Lunar Lander Challenge in 2008.

Carmack is absolutely qualified to talk about aerospace engineering. He also knows quite a bit about cars, FWIW.
What did you invest in? If you just did S&P 500 it would have gone up pretty significantly.
> It is important to note that the exposed details do not constitute personally identifiable information, so it wouldn't be possible to use this data leak to track individuals unless the attacker knew the VIN (vehicle identification number) of their target's car.

Or their home address? Location data is absolutely PII and easily deanonymized. Am I missing something?
Shirts - I typically don't buy any that has branding visible while wearing. If I have any, it was an oversight on my part.

It just occurred to me my jeans likely do. If I can find a clean way to remove them, I'll do it.

Car: Good point. I guess I won't as it will affect the resale value (and cost money to remove it properly). But when buying a car, if I get the option to get the same car without the name, badge, etc - I'd take that option.

Backpacks: Rarely use them, but you have a point. If I can cleanly remove them or buy quality ones in the future that don't have a logo, I'll do it. I suppose I could just put duct tape on the logo.

Note: I'm not against people intentionally keeping the logo if they want to promote the brand - this is not a moral crusade on my part. I just want the product at a cheaper price if I am going to provide them with free advertising.
I wonder why much speedup could be gained by having a control over Python’s dynamism. Dynamic attributes, etc. are not needed in most of normal application code that is not meta heavy. Could there be any gains via making backwards incompatible changes e.g. by sealing some modules or functions to be “static” only?

It would not matter if a subset of an application is partially incompatible, as often one wants to optimise smaller hot code paths only.

Haha it won't take Ra's or Bane, just more time and more people with money moving into the city and helping to build out the tax base.

Share the same general sentiment, but in the case of HTTP, many implementations are forgiving of conventional usage that may not match the specs; so I guess it's worth mentioning that this impl is strictly by-the-book.
Not a solution to carrying passengers, or lots of bags, or in snow and ice, or very long distances, or going somewhere you don't want motorbike gear and helmet to worry about. I love my motorbike but it's not as practical as a car for lots of things.

This is a tremendous leap in logic, but I am suggesting that Baltimore's problems can and do exist wholly independently of the engineering standards of Korean automakers
> taxi medallions. But of course, we all know how that turned out!

People who could make a living for their family and fund retirement off of taxi driving alone? :P

Sure, there were problems in medallion-heavy cities.

> > Good question.

> I’ll give my father’s answer: because gig work is better than regular jobs for people who value their own independence. If you work at a restaurant then you don’t have a choice about when you work, the manager sets your shifts. You also don’t have any control over the nature of the work. If the manager wants you peeling and dicing onions all day, that’s what you’re doing.

Another possible answer is that at the precariate level people may have multiple jobs. If your main job doesn't give you much control over hours, then at least your second gig job does. How many uber drivers are also dishwashers at restaurants?

> You’ll get fired instantly if you walk out during peak hours.

You don't get paid more for peak hour work, whereas some of the apps do pay more for peak hour work. And if these peak hours overlap, then you may get a better paycheck by doing gig work instead of restaurant work.
>I should point out to those not from the US that this is how Americans view the US.

No, it isn't. It's the opinion of a single person, and you're taking it for granted that their comment was made in earnest and that they truly represent 'the American view' -- whatever that is.

>So those outside the US can get insights into what the US is and how it thinks from threads like this.

No, they can't. They can learn about the opinion of a single person.

Can you point me to a country with such a unified opinion that any single person can cover the opinions of the entire populous?

If not, why would you assume that such a case may exist for the United States?

And more to the point, the premise was that it is ridiculous to hold the manufacturer of stolen goods to be wholly responsible for the theft in a jurisdiction that has law enforcement -- do you disagree with that, or do you just care to make an example out of someone?
Probably corrupt as well now that I think about it, how many have financial interest in bonds through kickbacks, campaign contributions, etc…?
The original mistake was tieing filename "extensions" to content.

A ".zip" is just four characters at the end of the filename. It conventionally means it's a ZIP compressed file, but it could contain anything.

Same with any other filename, .pdf, .doc, .wav, .jpg, etc. They are conventions but that's all they are.
I mean... it executed code that was supposed to print "Hello world\n" and it did print that, so how is it not working? :) I have no idea why is libgit needed to boot a VM (is it even?), but evidently some functionality is still available despite the error. Not that it changes much...
Not just on Windows. Modern web pages are full of cookie banners, sign-up-for-newsletter banners and please-sign-in-with-facebook banners. It's become a sport to ignore what's in popups and quickly find the right place to click to get rid of them (an OK button, a little "x" in the upper right corner, ...)

Which is a bit ironic since there was a time where browsers would routinely open popups in new windows, upon which it was immediately misused by ads, upon which browsers implemented counter measures. We're just in the next iteration of this.

As someone who has spent a significant amount of time in the UK and the Czech Republic (an EU country) since Brexit, both places are worse off now, but the Czech Republic is significantly more worse off than Britain. I have plenty of anecdotal evidence, but it suffices to look at inflation statistics, with Czechia at 15.1% and the UK at 9.07% for 2022. I haven't noticed any empty shelves, except for eggs, which were caused free-range chicken quarantine (according to a store worker). Maybe it's a coincidence, but as far as I can tell, this crisis has nothing to do with Brexit.
Some of the ccTLD's have gone way up in price (especially the .ai domain, which was around $20 but I cancelled when I saw it would cost nearly $150 to renew). To some extent this has also affected the popular .io domains.

I've instead gone with .dev for my personal domain. It was a bit annoying updating my email everywhere, but I'm a lot happier with this.

Only problem is that LLMs don't "learn" from blog posts in any human sense of the word, they are incapable of symbolic reasoning. LLMs directly incorporate the "learning" material into their models, with superhuman memory capacity and recollection ability, and then remix that source content into their productions. The production might be original, depending on its specific circumstances, but the model and the service itself are without any legal doubt derivative works of the original.

They have very little to do with the way humans learn - except maybe if you read a chapter from a book, memorize it, and then proceed to rewrite verbatim with the names of the characters exchanged, a use case of human learning which has long been recognized as, you guessed it, "plagiarism".
Except you just did the same thing.
