It's all about where you get your trackers. Public sites which list the software will be a minefield of malware. Private trackers tend to have much lower risk.
The state of Montana doesn't speak for the federal government.
Disagree with zero impact, it is a question of accessibility. Downloading an app is easy, going to another state to download an app is significantly harder. You are right that this does not stop determined people from downloading TikTok, but it definitely will slow down user growth in Montana... and open the door to further regulation in the future.
If you're writing a quick script, there's absolutely no point to caching those exceptions in Ruby—it's just going to cause your program to continue when it otherwise should have quit out due to an error condition outside of its control. Java's checked exceptions breeds overly defensive programming like this.

Anyway, here's a slightly better ruby version:

File.readlines('file.txt').each do |line|
puts(line)
end

Notice how I don't have to worry at all about constructing or manipulating a Path object, which I find to always be a very tedious part of file IO in Java. It's fully correct, sure, but for a web server that's only ever going to be deployed on Linux containers or a 50 line CLI script that's trying to wring a useful task out of some Java-only library, it's just insane overkill. The only thing worse then using Paths objects is trying to figure out which file calls do and don't work with path objects and which need to be converted to some other class that does the exact same thing.

Notice also how this is much more equivalent to the Java example provided, except it also consumes the file so you don't have to worry about introducing a new syntax construct to understand how the file gets closed. (Same, incidentally, with the File.open case, which just reuses a standard ruby block instead of introducing a new magic try statement that autocloses the file). You lose laziness, but you can get it back by using File.foreach instead, at the cost of a little bit of readability
Another Form App tool – Roast it
Hi, I'm solo founder and building projects since 2018 and I built 15+ projects. Only 6 took off and got acquired and made around $450k and it was great journey to make money online while you sleeping.

Last year, I sold one of the successful business project for $200k because some personal financial issues. That project making $4.5 per month and growing. I regret after selling a business that is already validated and running.

So, this year I build 4 project and 3 of them got failed and one of them got 200+ signups and 17 paid customer for Lifetime.

This is a Typeform alternative but it's more affordable for everyone with all the features Typeform give.

Here is the website called → formapp.so, Roast this if you have any comment on a Form editor tool.

I wonder how many Chinese-manufactured goods the state of Montana bought yesterday while issuing this statement.
Clicking through the links I find this:

> In general, literate programs combine source and documentation in a single file. Literate programming tools then parse the file to produce either readable documentation or compilable source.

http://literateprogramming.com/lpfaq.pdf#page11

By this litmus test, the Go standard library qualifies as literate programming. Document production tools are go doc or godoc. The .go files are themselves already compilable source.
There are plugins for DaVinci that can obliterate the need to ever touch AE though it's not out of the box.
I thought that the PRIMA developer’s comment in this thread was really mature and thoughtful. Reproduced below (minus some formatting):

> My goal is to make Professor Powell 12’s solvers as accessible as possible to scientists, engineers, and algorithm researchers. I am not particularly in favor of or against any language. I hope that everyone can easily use Powell’s solvers in her/his favorite languages.

> The first implementation of PRIMA is in modern Fortran simply because Powell’s implementation was in Fortran 77. Using Fortran, I can systematically verify the bit-to-bit faithfulness of the modernized implementation (not only “faithful up to an epsilon”). In addition, the intrinsic support for matrix-vector calculations is a strong advantage when developing reference implementations (or templates) of numerical solvers — most numerical algorithms are combinations of such calculations anyway.

> The major motivation for developing the modern Fortran version is to provide a reference for the implementation in other languages, namely Python, MATLAB, C++, Julia, and R. A reference implementation must be structured, modularized, readable, understandable, and extendable. The original Fortran 77 code is a true masterpiece, but it is not proper at all for being used as a reference implementation. You do not want to use a spaghetti-style codebase with 244 GOTOs as a reference, or your implementation will be of the same style.

> Putting it more straightforwardly, I implemented the modern-Fortran version of PRIMA in order to develop versions that are entirely Fortran-free 3.

> Coming back to the point, I fully understand why the SciPy community has “little appetite for taking on more Fortran code”. The reputation of Fortran has been damaged over the years. I do not agree with the damaged reputation, and I feel sorry for those who do not have a chance to know (or refuse to know) modern Fortran due to this false reputation, but I do not blame them. It is the responsibility of the Fortran community to re-establish the reputation. I do not regard it as a bully to request non-Fortran implementations. It is not a question of surrendering or not.

> I do consider myself a member of the Fortran community. Taking my share of the aforementioned responsibilty, I will try to promote the usage of modern Fortran via the PRIMA project. There is nothing more convincing than a successful real-life project.

> For the inclusion of PRIMA in SciPy, I will keep communicating with both the SciPy and the Fortran community (e.g., those on this discourse), trying to find the best route. As pointed out by others, f2c is not an option due to its incapability of handling modern Fortran. Official C++ and Python implementations are being planned, but they will not be delivered in the near future. The most probable and practical solution, as suggested here and under the other thread, is to wrap the modern Fortran implementation of PRIMA using iso_c_bindings + ctypes or similar facilities. I hope the SciPy maintainers will accept this solution.
I don't think there's a solution AFA regulating AI directly. I do think there are solutions to existing problems that need to finally be implemented.

We need better individual identity/security/privacy technologies, frameworks and rights to not have some dippy broker use your voice as your fingerprint. That's necessary regulation and infrastructure made more necessary by AI not direct regulation of AI. Weakness in the international phone systems and the ability to send arbitrary legal offers via email without any trust anchor are similar too.
It's absolutely a game-changer. Imagine having driving or walking directions laid out on the street in front of you. Imagine using AI to help you identify things like engine parts in your car, plants, birds, other people (never forget a name again). Looking at a package and scanning the barcode to get price comparisons. Recipe directions on the counter in front of you, even labeling the next ingredient and how much of it to measure. Walk into a museum and see highlighted details of every painting or information about a particular element in a sculpture. First aid details right in front of you, keeping both hands free to offer assistance in a roadside accident. Live AR-driven instructions for changing a tire or locating an oilpan plug.

Currently any time you need information you have to pull yourself away from your present moment to dive into your phone. AR will make it so the information you need is just integrated into the world around you.
How much would you estimate your total $ spend on mice was to date? Why did you at no point consider finding someone (closest hackerspace, cellphone repair kiosk at the mall) to fix it by substituting defective part with high quality replacement https://ausmodshop.com/collections/micro-switches?
We've seen this historically with other technologies. There was a short-lived era when people knew how to repair cars. To tune and modify engines. But as automobiles became ever more of a commodity, that population seemed to shrink too.

It may be difficult for a child to become fascinated with a particular technology once it becomes ubiquitous. It's a testable hypothesis too, because if that were true then you should see hackers appear in different geographic regions at different times due to how unevenly these technologies are distributed.

The confounding factor, I think, for computer technology at least, is that by the time they become ubiquitous in the third world, they may no longer be simple enough to "get started" on.
Yep, the "lets ban TikTok because they're foreign and might potentially misuse data." is a silly, shallow reaction that doesn't deal with the real problems and the known, not potential, issues. It seems like a distraction.

Data misuse is real concern. But TikTok is not the main problem, it's industry-wide. A good Data Protection legislation that applies to all, and is applied to TikTok if they warrant it (and also to FaceBook, etc) and the next social media that starts up next year, would be much better. EU GDPR style.

If none of these companies can live with that, then so be it, shut 'em all down.
This happens with Multipass too.
Thanks to the magic of Turing completeness, lots of the complications don't actually buy you anything...

The explicit choice in the design of Go is to prefer fast reading over fast writing, which helps maintainability and debugging.

Complex language features are terrible for maintainability: the reader may not know the feature, it may interact in unexpected ways with other language features, or have other non-obvious pitfalls. Debugging these things are ultimately a waste of time, and time is the highest price of all. And for what?
The article I read in WSJ last night said otherwise. It said that the lawmaker who introduced the bill wanted to modify it to include that language but it was too late in the process to do so. The lawmaker believed having the language would have made it more easier to avoid legal scrutiny.
AR is impossible to do well enough with todays technology. This is also the reality for Apple sadly.

VR works very well today. But it's a niche business sort of like racing wheels and joysticks. So not very interesting to go VR only for the big players.

AR and VR are separate things, and it's sort of a delusion that has been pushed by Meta and others that one leads to the other. Or that they can be combined even.

Neither the Wii, Wii U or Switch have anything powerful from a hardware perspective - the last time Nintendo released a product equally powered to the competition was the Game Cube but that was over 22 years ago now.

This is the 'withered technologies' playbook in action - use underpowered/mature technology in new and fun ways rather than relying on cutting-edge graphics technologies. As an example when the switch was launched in 2017 the CPU on the SoC was from 2012.

Nothing in the Wii was cutting edge in terms of the technology - it was just well implemented. The motion controls were 2 IR dots and a cheap camera, and that wasn't a new concept.

Similarly nothing in the switch was actually cutting edge technologically, just assembled into a great product.
Any thoughts on Affinity vs. Pixelmator Pro? I got a Pixelmator license maybe 8 years ago and this is the first I've heard of Affinity.
As I understand it, no. Montana would have to be effectively regulating interstate trade since neither Apple nor Google have offices here. Plus, the whole "negotiate commerce and treaties with foreign entities" thing.
Affinity’s forum community is truly bizarre. I posted a feature request for WebP support some years back; for a couple years later, people would regularly reply to chime in that I was an idiot for thinking I needed it.

(It’s now available in v2)
> Photoshop is still better than Affinity in a lot of ways, and for all the confusion in its interface, it's still more polished than Affinity.

I'd say it's much more similar to the pre- or early Creative Suite (not Creative Cloud) versions. (I'm using AP2)
GDPR is in effect for 5 years, and it exists since 2016...
A developer with a hacker mindset is different from a hacker.

Hacker means to use tricks to "hack", to "break", or to "reverse engineer" a system. It's very specific, very concrete job to do.

A hacker mindset means creative, innvative for the goal of automation instead.
I wonder why not just try to use more Pythonic solutions such as numba within scipy. I realize that maybe not in all cases can the same performance as Fortran be achieved but it strikes me as much more hackable for Python programmers than having to learn an new (old) language just for certain core algorithms. One of the principal reasons for switching to C implementations is because more people understand C than Fortran. This seems doubly true for Python-based jit solutions like numba or jax, so why not just skip C altogether and go for a more native port?
Eh. They don't push in the classic ways. I don't think Nintendo has ever put out a console that was on the cutting edge of technology.

What they like doing is taking common components and milking them for all they're worth. Or optimizing for what's really important in a system. Like for the Game Boy line, they focused on energy consumption rather than raw horsepower.

The NES used a modified 6502, which was used in the Atari 2600, Apple II, Commodore 64, and others.
well, there’s a lot of everything.
It's more like: soil = runtime, surface = language, runtime = community.
They plan to go after Apple and Google, fining them for use and downloads.
I saw a BBC story the other week bemoaning how state college students were circumventing firewalls of foreign media using VPNs.. the irony seemed to be lost on them.
Or the opposite: wow were we lucky Voyager launched when it did; the solar system would have collapsed had it not slingshotted past Jupiter.
Same. I'm a time traveller from the year 2152 and I was very happy when GIMP added non-destructive layers last month.
Or maybe there is something going on with the way you argue. It takes two to tango.
I think I agree with goodpoint and I also think that my own usage of "Zuckerberg" is the exact opposite of yours.
Articles keep coming out about Google’s plans for the future. All just fluff

Where are the products?

OpenAI has a tremendous lead in terms of quality of the product and adoption

On top of that, thousands of new models and projects are coming out almost every day that are starting to rival the quality of GPT as well as coming up with amazing, completely new things

Google has massively dropped the ball

Seems like they are doing Google+ all over again
Actually - correcting myself. There IS a clause that unbans TikTok on ownership transfer. I didn't read far enough down:

> Section 4. Contingent voidness. [This act] is void if tiktok is acquired by or sold to a company that is not incorporated in any other country designated as a foreign adversary in 15 C.F.R. 7.4 at the time tiktok is sold or acquired.

If TikTok is transferred to a company not owned by China the act goes away.

So they could just do that, then reacquire the company and this law vanishes in a puff of logic.
> 1) Actually respect regulations. It's not that hard for a company with so many resources.

It is hard if your whole business model is the opposite of data protection :-)

There's a great YouTube video that shows how the first attempt to make a sequel to F-Zero is what turned into Mario Kart! So every time you play super-accessible Mario, that is in fact a sequel.
I think two factors matter: lack of housing and shift to service sector. The lack of housing forces people to prioritize money, just Maslow's hierarchy. Because many jobs now involve sitting at a computer screen for 60 hours a week, not many (healthy/sane) people who want to add even more hours at the computer on top of their 60 hour a week 9to5, or 7to7, or whatever most people now work).
> I'm Italian and living in UK (for my sins), so I think I can see more than one facet of the argument.

The giveaway was commenting about gratefulness, lies and audiences, when my comment is strictly about policy and imbalance and what i suspect the reason may be within the EU. Somehow you dragged the whole west in a debate about policy that benefits west europe more than east and south europe.

The european community wasn't built out of solidarity, it was built as a mechanism to ensure we don't resort to barbarism again, as we did our entire history.

The armed conflicts of last century are the economic wars of today, at least within the eu.

Talking about “solidarity” and “recipients” is, i am sorry, amusing. I cant entertain this thought path any further simply because this is not a pub and we are not drunks.
That's in theory; in practice countries often look the other way or delay actions when they see fit. I guess Ireland is running out of money they planned to get and are now trigger happy on Meta.

I've been dealing with a fibre upgrade issue for three months now. Four times in total their support has offered to call me with an update. Twice they scheduled a specific date and time for the call. I've yet to receive a single phone call or email from them.

Their checkout flow can break. In some browsers it'll get stuck in an infinite redirect loop. If you're using edge you'll get redirected to a page that shows the ~10 year old BT Infinity branding, with a totally different style, packages, and prices.

Their chat bot is of the kind that decides whether or not you're allowed to speak to a human based on what it thinks your question is.
It seems that the binary in question just writes the logfile directly and does not use syslog.
UK libel laws are ridiculous
Recently, verifying the binary took more work [1] than the install itself:

* Verify SHA hash of binary
* Verify .asc sig against binary
* Verify sig appears among dev keys list

It was a good exercise though (and universally applicable).

Interesting concept. I like the idea of being able to easily leverage Biometrics for auth, but am reluctant to be tied to a third-party to support authentication. I'm sure it could be switched out quickly for something else, but that could be a shock to less tech savvy etc. users.
I have a suspicion that LLMs has primary language that it must be always consistent with. If so it makes sense that it performs worse in non-native languages.
Just to lend an Irish perspective. This is not necessarily popular here. Our governments move to sue to prevent having Apple pay 16 billion in tax evasion fines (to Ireland), was extremely unpopular - https://www.bbc.com/news/business-53416206

Just as in the US, there's growing suspicion of the pseudo economic growth that an economy constructed around construction and providing tax avoidance opportunities to big-tech provides. We have one of the worst housing crises in Europe, massive economic inequality, cost of living increases, enormous and growing issues with homelessness and street heroin abuse and so on. Many of which directly track with how the economy has responded to tech firms setting up here.

Meanwhile we don't have the resources for the state to engage in the massive housing construction thats sorely need as our population grows, solve our urban congestion issues, invest in public transport etc.

It's been a terrible deal for Ireland, and the country is in many ways a worse place to live than it was fifteen years ago - during the 'great recession'.

> It messes with tooling. If you're lucky then your editor will be smart enough to syntax highlight inside code blocks, or can be taught to do so easily. It's unlikely that more advanced IDE-style features will work.

Probably a niche example and the exception that proves the rule, but in Racket, the included literate programming (Scribble/LP2) is itself a language implemented in Racket. Racket’s IDE and tools for exposing and inspecting syntax work just as well in that environment as in any other Racket-implemented language.

I was comparing the sound quality to Lenovo's, Thinkpads, and MacBooks. I find my framework sounds muddier and more distorted than all of them. I acknowledge that the Mac might be unfair since it's in a different price and quality range, the Lenovo quality seems doable though.
Yes there is. It's right there in section 4.
Less than a brick. You can break windows and drive nails or stakes with a real brick. ASUS has created landfill.
There are no gacha mechanics in this game. There is a mechanic where you throw some dropped monster parts into a device in order to receive random building materials, but monster parts and device parts are already abundant, drop rates are basically equal for all parts, and, most crucially, there's no way to spend real money on any of this. It's not there to facilitate gambling, it's there to incentivize creativity in your builds by giving you parts that you might not otherwise go out of your way to acquire or use.
I don't think we have to reduce it down to a boolean choice. Nintendo has altered their strategy over time, as all 100 year old companies have. It's definitely true that for quite a while now they have not attempted to complete on raw specs.
I have been using a 3 dollar/mo ipv6-only vps for a little while.
It's not quite as user friendly and there are some challenges with not having an IPv4 address, but it's fine what I use it for.

I've used DO before and it's pretty convenient.

My ipv6 VPS gets scanned pretty frequently which was a bit of a surprise, just because it's way more work to scan ipv6 net blocks than ipv4 space.
