My parents are in their late sixties and travel internationally quite often and the lack of a physical SIM slot in new iPhones makes them not want to upgrade devices ever, because it would mean that they'd have to learn a whole new paradigm for installing and using eSIM when they're not very tech literate.
Taschen is German for "pockets" (or "bags"). Paperback in German is "Taschenbuch", literally "pockets book". This title was very confusing to me.
I do not understand what you mean.

CMOS became viable since the very beginning, immediately after the fabrication of integrated MOS circuits became possible.

RCA launched their CD4000 series of CMOS logic circuits before 1970.

Nevertheless, during more than a decade the use of CMOS was restricted to applications where having the lowest power consumption was more important than any other characteristic.

The reasons were that CMOS circuits have a greater area than both PMOS and NMOS circuits and CMOS circuits are slower than NMOS circuits.

After 1980, the scaling of NMOS to greater densities became more and more difficult, because of a great increase in power consumption, so at some point everybody was forced to abandon NMOS and switch to CMOS, in order to keep the power consumption within reasonable limits.

For instance, the first mainstream CMOS CPU made by Motorola was MC68020 in 1984 (replacing the NMOS MC68010), also in 1984 NEC launched their CMOS replacements for Intel 8088/8086 (V20/V30) and Intel was among the last to switch to CMOS for mainstream CPUs, with 80386 in 1985 (replacing the NMOS 80286).

> Going on a tangent, even after all this time people still don’t understand what the metaverse is. The metaverse is simply an AR / VR platform that has online access. That’s it.

And that’s because Meta did a shitty job to tell people what it is! Have you heard or seen one of their ads? In Germany, they go like „the Metaverse will help doctors to do complicated surgery. It might be virtual, but the Metaverse will have a real impact“

It’s like pure essence of bullshit, on the level of those self-reordering fridges promised in the 90ies. If Meta would just release a single, convincing use case now, maybe things would look different. But they don’t, because they can’t, because there isn’t one. It’s a solution looking for a problem.

"If YouTube or RIAA want to protect their precious content"

You are giving YouTube motivation of protecting content but part of Yout's argument is that YouTube hasn't claimed the measures in question are intended to be protection measures. YouTube didn't even file an amicus brief in this case claiming such. Something I'm sure the RIAA would have put pressure on them to do.

I feel like what is "unconscious" is oftentimes that which you don't recognize, but others do. The classic "Freudian" slip is the greatest example. People are always saying shit, completely by accident, that reveals their "unconscious" feelings but they don't even acknowledge or recognize it even if everyone else does. In fact, it is only possible to see what you don't know about yourself by speaking with others (thus: Plato!)

He is right on point. I recently went through a KYC process and, due to a misunderstanding (and their lack of proper user support), I got kicked out of the service for a while.

What strikes me is how much financial information I had to provide them. Bank accounts, salary slips, savings accounts, etc. I am more than happy to provide that information to my government in the course of, say, a tax audit, but handing it off to a private company abroad just to buy a few shares is not proportionate. And who else will have access to that information? Is it going to be sold to the highest bidder?

The goverment is outsourcing its policing duties and, sooner or later, that will come back to bite us all when a leak outs all this information.

You had lockdowns because politicians were following the instructions of corrupt academics. Lockdowns made no impact on hospital load (can you determine the dates and times of interventions by looking at the graphs I just linked?). Nor did they have any impact on death rates or anything else.

> the health care system would have collapsed

You were told that but the Swiss were told that too. In fact they were told the hospitals were collapsing, even as their own dashboard said the exact opposite.

Governments lied about COVID, all the time. Lockdowns had no impact on spread, and there's a ton of studies showing that by now, just go searching for them on Google Scholar. But you don't even need studies. Just eyeball the graphs of various countries and try to spot the impact on case numbers of these supposedly mandatory interventions. There isn't any. SARS-CoV-2 like all coronaviruses spreads like a gas and these viral clouds can hang around and travel long distances in the air. Lockdowns are meaningless given such a modality of spread.

> If I live with one person in a committed relationship, but also have a relationship with 4 other people I don't live with, how often do I have to see them before they have a claim on me?

I believe BC law is pretty clear that people need to live together in order to be considered common law. I know marriage doesn't have the same requirement, but there is no legal marriage to multiple people at this moment.

I don't think that could practically work with multiple people, if one of those people isn't living with the others and/or sharing finances. But to be fair, I haven't given it much thought yet. If a person has multiple partners who are equally significant, they should ideally be legally entitled to equal benefits, but of course this opens up more nuance.

> It only gets more complex when you consider asexual people, who may have many close emotional relationships with no real strong "ranking" or "best friend" or "partner"

Perhaps you misunderstand what asexual means. Asexual people might have romantic relationships. They might be married. They might even have sex! It's a spectrum, but has very little to do with who you might date, and more to do with what kinds of activities you might want to do with a partner.

Aromantic people are less likely to have romantic partners, and therefore, I imagine, much less likely to be married.

> AA meetings don’t give out badges to members who drink for less than 2 hours per day.

I don't agree with that analogy. To use a different analogy, people don't join Weight Watchers because they want to quit eating.

Also, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholics_Anonymous#Criticism :

] Stanton Peele argued that some AA groups apply the disease model to all problem drinkers, whether or not they are "full-blown" alcoholics.[132] Along with Nancy Shute, Peele has advocated that besides AA, other options should be readily available to those problem drinkers who can manage their drinking with the right treatment.
The Play Store has cert pinning, so this all works just fine in the scenario you're describing.
There's a special place in hell for the Vatican. Pedo gay sex galore aside, the entire multi-billion dollar scammer organization, is disgusting. Went to visit while flying through. There's a long line in the square, it's sun-baking weather outside. They have the little roof-covered column things on the side, but the line is in the middle. No little tents over the line area - go ahead and stand there for 3 hours, at the zenith, in the middle of summer.

Well, burns and skin cancer, like tears inside the butt, bring you closer to god, as mother teresa always preached while on the scammin' trail, so all good - right? Nope, it's a sales tool. For a mere 300EUR you can bypass that line, and they have extremely rude and pushy sales people approach you multiple times as you suffer.

I gave up after 10 minutes. I took a selfie at their post office, now have a better story to tell, and my man-man virginity preserved. Although I probably would have been safe inside there, as I am an adult.

The special place in hell for that wiki editor, is called The Vatican. That whole area, the organization, and the people in it, are the definition of true and pure evil.

If the issue is the lack of certificate transparency, then add that as a new standard to dnssec.

Certificate Transparency came into the picture around 2013, by which time https was fairly old. Public resolvers like google, quad 9, and cloudflare could create Certificate Transparency for dnssec today if there was a demand for it.

Mathematics, rationality, logic, "formal process". They are like talking about "threads", "file descriptors" and "inodes". Fancy abstractions, but what are they abstracting away precisely? What are the roots they are trying to hide? Is the foundation of logic itself logical?

Of course this degenerates into word-play quickly, but the problem itself isn't solved (or diminished) by word-play.

> It's not a high bar to achieve.

I'm not sure I agree. It's not trivial at all to produce a system that can support what you call logic and formal processes, both cognitively - you have to think it up in the first place and Turing and von Neumann and others were no slouches - and physically as the history of and continued development of computational circuitry shows. I think what you call rational or well-behaved systems are just mirages or shadows that pop into life once a specific pattern of fundamentally non-rational behaviours intersect just right.

I, of course, am unhindered by any actual knowledge or competency in this domain so I wouldn't read too much into what my unhinged subconscious is spewing forth.
> But we will have to change a lot of things for it to outright replace humans

Like having AI in the first place. I still haven’t seen any example generated by GPT that is not a naive translation (perhaps between languages) of some code already in its training set in one way or another. Which is a cool thing, we get a much more intelligent (though factually less punctual) search engine for code! But we are very far from it replacing any programmer worth their weight.

I don't think I'm really the best at anything, just try to be the best I can be at a few things.

Instruments are what I work on doing natural science for the most part. Sometimes do an equation or two. Getting better all the time but I don't do it competitively. Always known I'll never reach the top. That's not where I'm going.

More like a mountain range better for me to behold from a ways back, rather than a peak to ascend.

There's always somebody having similar drive to OP who is closer to the top of most summits.

So many hills nobody is even climbing that look interesting if I get a wild hair. Wouldn't have to go as high if I took the chance. Only a radical stroke of fortune could put something really big within the realm of possibility.

Best results for me have come by refraining from seeking eminence.

Make more progress that way.

Yep, what I had would definitely eat it under either of at least two conditions: too many files and whitespace in filenames.

Your correction fixes both of those issues (the former through using xargs and the latter by splitting the arguments passed to it on the nul character instead of the default (newline, right?)).
I've read plenty of legal texts and many are far more precise than this. Think tax law, for example. GDPR is certainly not the first. Yes, it's not the only example of vague law, but it's fairly unusual in its international scope, the size of the fines and the sheer absurdity of how many words it uses to say so little. At least compared to Anglo law.
If they really just incremented from 0 they could have done a lot better. I bet the distribution of 6 digit passcodes in the population is far from uniform:

* A ton of people just take their 4 digit PIN and append 00 or 01

* Passcodes that are easily convertible to dates. Bonus points for targeting their particular birthday, their family’s birthdays, their pet’s birthday, significant historical dates etc

* Passcodes that make a nice pattern on the keypad like 084265

* Passcodes that have a numerical pattern like 024680
That's a good, or rather bad point. I mean you could probably make a legacy version only, but itnis probably not worth the effort.
honestly the security of that makes me nervous. I would frankly expect nation state levels of paranoia around the windows source. Was there any investigation into whether you could be compromised by someone? or maybe I'm underestimating the amount of checks between you and code in windows updates?
I have thought about this almost every time I have visited other countries (usually in Asia). Many times there are a number of employees standing around “doing nothing”. In America that would be considered fat to be trimmed. But the number of times I have walked around a big box store in the US trying to find someone who works there makes me feel that the American model actually cheapens the experience and having redundant employees allows the store to adapt to varying traffic flows. Americans seem to be used to this hollowing out but I don’t like it. Stores should not be vending machines.

Anyways, I would really like to see a breakdown of costs between an American restaurant and various foreign ones. I suspect floor space cost is a big part of the difference.
Not only for disruptive technologies. Or even "new" things, but the main product. I've seen far too many companies which produce something and then you look at their own processes and not only do they not use it, whatever they use is clearly inferior, but .. it's just there. And no one will pull the switch and say "okay, that's it. We now use our own things. End of story."
I 1000% agree with the comment about tax reports.

When I was a contractor, I set up a Ltd company in the UK and had a really hard time working out which software could do my reports for me. I just wanted something that could easily make documents that would be accepted by HMRC.

The UK tax system is incredibly lenient in my experience. They're happy to help you out with any problems or mistakes you make. You just need documents filed on time in the correct format. But it was a nightmare working out which software could export the correct format for me, so I ended up just paying for Xero in the end.

£28/month for a small business, that's over £300 a year I could save if something open-source was well document and said on the website that it supported UK tax documents. But I didn't have the time to download every option, put in a bunch of fake data, and then inspect the report against the HMRC guidelines.

You cannot load or write (may only have been one of those operations, strangely) a file containing non-ASCII characters with the C/C++ libraries if you target Win.

If you target Linux, those work out of the box due to the file system doing the lifting.

With windows we had to use the short file name (e.g. FILEN~1.EXT) as a workaround.

Also, you have to watch out for what the library does when it writes to (Edit: Windows) network shares - we've seen it write NaNs where there were values in the data it should save, maybe a latency issue, maybe a configuration issue - but not something you get told about.

I would like to move away from it.

My point was that "good" is good only in connection to an ecosystem of tech, values, practices and the people judging what is "good". I personally do not think any group of users "drags the field down".

Granted, std::pmr::vector has its place...

but - PMR allocators also have that weird fixation on types, which they should not; plus, dynamic allocation is expensive. It's particularly expensive to let your containers do reallocation willy-nilly on their own. I'd go with `std::array`, if I wanted something dynamic - a dynarray (which the standard doesn't even have).
