There's a very real problem that "make binding agreement with another country" and "total independence of the legislature" are incompatible. The most obvious one is external debt - see what happened when Argentina tried to legislate theirs away.

If your country agrees not to make a law that has a certain effect, and then makes that law, it's breached international law. And for countries other than America that has negative consequences imposed by America.
I've been using Gentoo for years on my home desktop. Nothing has ever broken. Things are so much easier now than they used to be 10 years ago. I do run a very minimal system, though. I use sway as my window manager and no desktop environment. My hardware is pretty basic (mostly Intel).

I run Ubuntu on my work laptop (with i3 WM). Despite my desktop having a very measly dual-core Intel Pentium G3258 (a 10 year old budget CPU, although admittedly overclocked to the max) and my laptop having a much more recent quad-core i7, the Gentoo box absolutely flies compared to the Ubuntu one.

I've also successfully run Gentoo on an old Atom powered netbook. The only problem is it's too slow to run Firefox and the "modern web", but that can't be helped. I compiled the whole system on the netbook, although nowadays I would set up cross-compilation if I were to do it again.
Pro: Viewing text with bold and italics is supported by anything that supports (up to date) Unicode. No other formatting needed. But really when was the last time you looked at some text in a context that didn’t include some formatting? A text editor. That’s about it. An IDE.

Con: Everything in the universe that can edit text now has to handle new ways to encode bold and italics and choose between the character encoding or the document encoding for saving it. How is that choice made?

On the whole, seems like we should keep the character encoding in Unicode and the formatting in the enclosing document format.

Besides, we’d need to add underline, strike through, etc.
Have you ever worked with redux saga? It’s exactly what you’re describing.
> It's pretty easy to counter your assertion by simply saying, "I find no value in the original work but I find value in Warhol's rendition".

Finding value is not a concern of the various copyright and IP infringements though. Nearly any copy will find value, as that was the point of copying it in the first place.
No, that button is on their own site (landing page). If you want to prove that saying “download for free” and then demanding payment is not a trick - don't waste your time.

App Store has an “In-app purchases” option not for tricksters like this, but for applications that provide additional functionality or services for additional payment.
Could you justify the term "best practises"?

I have not seen such sociopathic behaviour in public transport in Tokyo, Singapore, Taipei, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Beijing. All are turnstile based. I feel that they are strictly better in almost all dimensions than e.g. Berlin's public transport. In all you pay with some variant of NFC tech, e.g. your phone. Zero effort.

Fine-grained access control also allows for better understanding of train usage, and capacity planning.

Cost of transport is orthogonal to access.
I don't want to have to speak out anything, but it could be useful as an option. E.g. the author has an RSI.
Okay, now I want to use voice commands to iteratively code using AI. You'd start out very high level, like, "Write a react component that does X thing." and then you'd modify it more granularly, like "Re-write the last 5 lines so it doesn't use variable X." I could probably do 90% of my coding without typing.
It's already started, unsurprisingly in countries like China, India or Brazil, that didn't have widespread card acceptance and could push mobile payments faster.

The EU has more or less given up on creating a new competing card payment scheme (EPI) and wants to support mobile payments instead. The EMPSA has already started federating a few domestic networks, and should also eventually be interoperable with AliPay, WeChat, UPI and so on.

There is nothing in that thread that proves it could happen, let alone is happening, beyond "my friend says it's possible" and then everyone jumping on that as if some random person assuming something is possible is the same as it's actually happening.
A falsehood only needs to smell like the truth to be believed. Access to photos is definitely happening but the rest is conjecture without some proper research into this.

Ultimately this seems like far too much hassle and processing for very little gain, given the 2 seconds of audio in a live photo is bound to be useless for determining product relevance. Advertising algorithms are clever enough to target well without having to go to the expense of analysing real time audio from your mic or your photos & videos.

In England in the 1600s it was perfectly normal to get a hackney carriage around town. Boats for longer distances.

Until 1976 the law was still extant that they had to keep a bale of hay in the vehicle.

The prices were even regulated

Indeed the Romans even had regulations about road width to ensure drawn carts could pass each other

When the work of art is context itself that makes perfect sense. In „Black square“ by Malevich it was not the black square that was the artistic invention, but where he placed it at exhibition. Copyright must not prevent such uses of images, so it is perfectly normal for Warhol to transform the images the way he did. The copyright was infringed by the foundation which was supposed to preserve the works, not to alter them by licensing for the use not intended by author.
been using it for some time now since it’s release, and the results are better than anything else i’ve seen! (and it keeps getting better :D)

No, I am not that naive. Of course it has to happen through competing interests (and regulation).

Its true what you say that in the US they don't like regulation, but on the other hand they like consumption. If you want to have a diverse menu of products to consume you need to ensure its a competitive market. You can't have it both ways.

I hope we keep cars, but they are self driving, electric, cheap and you don’t own one you book one on your app. You might end up sharing it. Some will be mini buses for ride shares.

Best of both worlds. No need to own a car but the convenience is there when you need it.
You see, that's the problem here.

The demo looks primitive, "go up second and go left third"? What is this, 2020? When now, in 2023, you can say "add parameters". Programming will only become higher and higher in abstraction. Why even say "parameters", just say "handle this use case".

Only if you're paying on-demand prices. If you're paying spot prices, the spot market is much less linearly correlated.

I mean, I'm not sure what else you'd literally do with it. Simulating the claimed 8 qubits would require not much classical processing power at all, unless there is something fundamental about the TRNG behavior/fidelity of qubits. Entanglement is interesting but what are you going to do other than simply demonstrate entanglement? I guess you could run Deutsch's with it. Fun. This seems like more of a teaching machine than anything.
I bought a car just to avoid some type of people in public transport. I had a weekly encounter with either a homeless person with very bad odor, or somebody aggressive that was usually kicked out by a bus driver or by police.

It was acceptable when I was riding alone but now I have a kid and there's no way I will bring him to this environment.

Unfortunately, our cities are not dealing with these issues adequately.
Python as a Build Tool (2021)
Relatedly, are there any accessibility tools to reduce eye usage while coding? I frequently get dry eyes and wonder in what other ways I can use them less. I follow the 20 20 20 exercises for eyes; it has been helpful.

I don't want to shut them off completely, but I want to reduce them as much as possible.

e.g. I am actively shutting down my monitor and using screenreaders for any long-form articles.
Different thing though. Things like this feed the myth that facebook is always listening to you. It's close enough to the idea to allow the cognitive leap from 'possible' to 'happening' without more than anecdotal evidence. I've never seen conclusive proof, e.g. showing data collection, transmission or usage, that any targeted advertising is based on overheard conversations whilst a phone not in use. Targeted advertising is just really good at segmenting people, combined with confirmation bias and the number of ads people don't register mentally until they are relevant in this context.
Unfortunately the book I wish existed didn't exist. I was about to write one for O'Reilly, but after the first exchanges I understood they were not the right match for me, so I abandoned the project. This happened several years ago, now I'm outside the Redis project so I'll not certainly write this book anymore. Later I started writing fiction, and during the process I understood that the bad vibes I had with O'Reilly were justified: the editor I had worked with tried to impose me a given shape for the book, a shape that I thought was not the right one. Their editing is massive and in the case of the Redis book they were destrying the book I had in mind. Writing a book is an insane amount of work, if you can't make it as you wish it is not worth the effort at all.
Yes, too many digital eggs in one digital basket.

A few years ago, my Microsoft account got suspended for a month without any reason given in the end. Probably tripped some kind of param with some kind of algorithm.

Anyway, in that month, I couldn't use Office 365, OneDrive, Skype, Microsoft Store purchases, my Xbox (all my games are digital), Microsoft Store developer portal, Outlook email address and calendar. There was probably other stuff too.

It pretty much stopped me dead in my tracks on both a personal and professional level.

Whilst a single corp providing so many services can be very compelling, it's a disaster if for any reason you can't access your account.
DuckDB is a great piece of software if you are

If you are looking for a query engine implemented in a safe language (Rust) I definitely suggest checking out DataFusion. It is comparable to DuckDB in performance, has all the standard built in SQL functionality, and is extensible in pretty much all areas (query language, data formats, catalogs, user defined functions, etc)

I have never understood the appeal of Andy Warhol, even in trying to understand him and his work in a period context.

From my point of view the very least they should do is to publish a paper or alike on all the details of their recovery protocol. For now it looks like the extracted seed isn't even protected, just split (with Shamir?) into 3 parts and they themselves can join the parts.

Regarding their secure enclave - I thought it has read-only firmware and the "apps" just interact with it when they need a signature. That seems to be a result of false advertising.

Cars have an effect on culture that is very similar to software in that cars have evolved from being a technological symbol of innovation in the industrial era to a cargo cult of exploitation ironed into the social fabric by commercial and social forces in barely a hundred years:

https://www.alexanderrea.com/project/mcdonalds-happy-world/

It's difficult to summarize the impact of commercial and social collusion while understanding the impact on daily decision making as easily as that.

Of course, all the beautiful people ride around in electric cars with their brains being told indirectly to consume the diet of Mr. Creosote by a conspiracy of corporations that have neither their best interests nor well-being at heart.

Two things provide hope. Young people who, when given the choice, choose not to get a driver's license, and old people who've become accustomed to cars but choose to abstain from car transport moving forward and have the freedom, health, and wisdom to choose other alternatives such as 2 feet, 2 wheels, or mass transit instead.

These choices arise from the fact that time (as in slow-* culture) and health are the new wealth for those who have the privilege to recognize and realize such beliefs as differentiators in the life they seek, not yesteryear's symbols of innovation.

> I'll be sure to not to mention such words when I refer to my girlfriend who is "having so much fun" with uterus cancer.

The issue is around bellicose metaphors in oncology. While some people respond to that language, many do not. In particular, in some studies it increases feelings of guilt regarding the transition from active to palliative care in situations where the malignancy is not responding to active treatment or where the patient doesn’t want to accept the adverse effects of treatment, as in “Oh, you’re giving up?”

But surely there are choices of language that are neither war-like nor cynical.
> Over the years they never hesitated to cannibalize their own product lines (iPod), or go through several tough technological transitions (68K/PPC/x86/ARM) if it meant building a better product. And bigger profits of course.

Oh the mighty power ipad with M2 chip and 5G modem but a crippling ipadOS that prevents one from making good use of the CPU power would like a word to argue with you :-)

I cannot think of any reason for Apple to not allow ipadOS to get proper multi-tasking than "oh this will start eating into our profits from the MacBook Air/Macbook Pro lines". I'm not advocating for MacOS on a touchscreen mode. I would have chosen the ipad Pro in a heatbeat if it could have real multi-tasking with a keyboard and a touchpad plugged in. I mean the chip is already there twiddling its thumbs..
Wow, can relate so much to this. I myself am about 18 years in my Gentoo journey. Can relate all to well to the eventual impossibility of an upgrade, especially after years of inattention and auto-pilot. Sometimes its suggestions of updating portage now is the worst thing you can actually do :). Was essentially locked out of a dev system for two years and couldn't be bothered with rescue until some years to salvage the system and migrate to a new server, albeit latest and greatest Gentoo. This has happened a couple other times over the years, whose details are similar but different in their own ways.

Recently tried Funtoo for a while on AWS, but never felt right, as I could never get used to ego sync. Happy AWS now has community Gentoo packages.

Use other distros all the time, Amazon's Linux, Ubuntu/Debian, etc. as I've become too lazy to configure most things when they're running in isolation, such as Dockers or SNAPs. Don't need to be opinionated, just enjoy that bloat and forget it.

However, there's something very satisfying to Gentoo. The USE, and similar flags. Being able to set just what you need, nice slots, easy upgrades (usually, especially if you remember to add your USE to the respective package files vs inline). Can get everything as I like, where I need, and can really use a server fully. Don't think I'll ever give up my personal Gentoos on Linode, despite having various clouds and distros elsewhere. Something about it just feels like home.
Apple offers "Technical Support Incident" credits that you buy as a pack of x quantity. The idea being that devs can talk to a real human being. The support sucks. Frequently given non-answers and non-solutions, and have paid for the privilege of being given boilerplate copy-paste without them having actually read and understood the problem.

It's especially poor when you consider that publishing apps on Google Play means a one-off fee for your account, but publishing apps on Apple's App Store requires an annual subscription, with TSI credits on top of it.

At least you can say with Google that you get what you pay for in terms of support and experience (not much—it's passable), can't say the same for Apple.
>Even if that made sense, or some of these tech giants simply decided to cut their losses and say good buy to the Euro sector

I think it would be short-sighted decision. Currently European tech scene isn't great, because it is hard to compete with US companies awash of VC money or who are highly profitable and entrenched in the EU market. But if those giants would voluntarily clear positions, competition would have arise and could threaten the giants in the long run - i.e. by offering privacy thanks to coming from EU, where GDPR non-compliance is very expensive.

This is similar situation to why USA has such huge military presence in Europe in general. Sure it is expensive and Europeans are sometimes ungrateful, but if they would have left, then in the long run EU would likely got its own unified army and become serious geopolitical competitor on level of China, even if ideologically aligned with USA.

I live in a country where such a ban on certain "enemy" social networks was implemented a few years ago.

What will happen is this.

Teens will download a shit ton of VPN applications, the vast majority of which are specifically produced and marketed by the enemy to circumvent said ban. Then all users' phone traffic gets routed via the enemy VPN instead of just the social app's requests.

Win-win for both sides:

- the government gets populistic approval from the eldery population;
- the adversary gets way more US users' data than they ever dreamed of.

Yes, it wasn't clear initially which fine you were writing about. But, if the fine was referring to activity that occurred after the GDPR entered into force, it is inaccurate to say that it was retroactive - it was simply that the Irish regulator misunderstood or misenforced the law according to the courts, but for a company as sophisticated as Meta, that shouldn't be an excuse. They have far more legal expertise on staff than the Irish DPA.

And, no, nobody is forcing Meta to offer personalized social networking to users in the EU. Meta is free to decline to do so. The EU is simply forcing them to decouple consent to such a service from consent to receive personalized ads. It is a valid social policy choice to want to differentiate those processing purposes, even if Meta doesn't like it. I do.

To the extent that the EU is not acting like a fair player here, it is by disrespecting the democratic will of the EU population as expressed through their EU representatives by inadequately enforcing the GDPR.

I think it's good that the regulatory capture and the intentional Irish government policy of underfunding which currently applies to the Irish DPA is not as successfully a "get out of jail free card" for non-compliance in the EU as equivalent circumstances are in the US. Many thanks to noyb.eu for filing complaints and to the EU courts and the European Data Protection Board for taking them seriously.
