It's called being an empathic human being
>Says who.

The primary source https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/snowden-calls-russi...
For years I have been fascinated with the idea of a template system that works at the DOM level, that’s a bit like what happens with React, but really parsing HTML at the DOM. I wrote some of the ideas up here

https://ontology2.com/the-book/html5-the-official-document-l...

One big problem is that systems like this are orders of magnitude slower than text-based template systems. Another one is a problem with namespaces. If you mash together two arbitrary documents they could have identical id attributes (forbidden) or identical classes (talk about wires getting crossed.). You ought to be able to transcoded an arbitrary HTML document into another one but you’d need to rewrite the CSS to eliminate conflicts in some cases, which I think is possible but is rarely done.
Emotional is cheap. Show me the algorithm (to resolve the whole process).

More empathy is welcome (from the keynote person, too). Instead of giving up, let's try to improve things and avoid blaming instead. Blaming is not the best way to improve things, even if it hurt you.

Input: Presentations on some topics from some people.

Output: Fuzzy logic here right ?
China’s first domestically made passenger plane completes maiden flight
The article misses the main point of a rewrite. It's not a trap. It fails to even dissect the why in the first place.

The creators of the system and those indirectly involved know it best. The later anyone gets onboarded the harder it is. At some point if it lacks documentation, has quirks, is unfinished and the original creators are no longer around it's very hard to modify the system.

No 1 wants to dig into a jungle they're unfamiliar with. A rewrite isn't about the system, the productivity or anything like that. It's actually about giving it a restart in terms of ownership if you've refreshed most of your staff since. The feeling of ownership not just boosts productivity but people's willingness to work and support the system without excuses. It's human nature.

Now if it's worth it or how long it'd take is always a delicate balance. The article complains about a rewrite that 4 years later is still not complete. How do you know it wouldn't have been worse without the rewrite?
They're building a showcase city a thousand kilometers away in a different island as the new capital, but they're not relocating the 20+ million who live in Jakarta.
In another 50 years the condition of Venice will be a footnote in the ledger of systemic problems that bring everything to a halt.

The system, the organism or ecosystem of European civilization world wide is rotting and collapsing right before our very eyes. We are witness to the Technology Age Collapse, whether people can or want to see it or not. That will have consequences for everything and everyone, including Venice.

AI cannot create any of the things that formed the European civilization that produced and maintained everything we all have, like computers, electricity, communications, transportation, flight, etc. AI can copy, emulate, and automate; it cannot create harmonious and finely humanly tuned things. It would never have created the works of art and architecture, let alone the technologies to produce everything in order to solve specific human problems.
Basically, few people are able to escape the "Snowden good, US Gov bad" groupthink and really see what happened with Snowden. The guy was a massive traitor that made the US much, much less safe for probably a very long time. Remember US Gov actually DOES care about your rights. The CCP and Putin do NOT. He made the latter much stronger.

The revelations didn't even show anything malicious. He basically won the court of opinion with all his interviews and books because his opponent literally can't argue back (would reveal classified info). He sucks, and hopefully more people will come around to it, though I fear the groupthink is too strong.
Relay theft: Mum's warning over criminals targeting keyless cars
> Says who.

Just a few tabloid rags like The Washington Post [1], The Guardian [2], and The Atlantic [3].

> That doesn’t mean he has to pledge allegiance during that period. Regardless it’s not what an American patriot does. That narrative is untenable now.

Pledging allegiance is required to obtain Russian citizenship, which grants him additional protections from the United States. It is also required to obtain a Russian passport, which is required because the United States revoked his American passport, made him stateless, trapped him in an adversarial foreign country, and would do everything in their considerable power to intercept him should he try to seek asylum elsewhere.

Sure, the timing makes for awkward optics, but I'm going to cut the guy some slack not only for what he's been through, but for having his reputation falsely tarnished as well.

I wonder what our emotions would be like from an evolutionary perspective if all our ancestors practiced stoicism from an early age.

Would we be reasonable people?
The end result of analyzing the UFO videos just ends up publicizing more and more details of military technology that should be kept secret. By that I don't mean that aliens are real, I mean the far more mundane implications of military espionage such as your enemy having extensive knowledge about your sensor capabilities because that is what most of these UFO sightings are, they are sensor artifacts.
Is it just me, or is this a lot of melodrama for a language. I love arguing over technical details, this seems more like "house wives of rust".
Is it a case of people repeatedly talking about grand principles that you never felt were actually naturally followed ?
> and the back button will work (closing the modal).

Which opens a whole new can of worms!

What is the meaning of pressing "back" when modal window is shown? Is it "cancel"? What if I already changed something within the modal? What if "back" causes losing some input within the modal? Should we... show another modal for confirmation of going back?

Same with navigation via "back"/"forward" into a modal (which is now present on the history stack) - if this was modal with some action... can I execute it again? Did I just execute it by navigating into it?
Okay so I guess both the poster you responded to as well as you are making unfounded claims? Okay I won’t argue against that. I’m sure this comment thread has had hundred of unfounded claims made supporting various positions. In any case, I guess you are confirming that you in fact don’t have support for the claims you’ve made.

> because now I'm being asked to seriously prove that doctors are not recklessly slaughtering patients by asking them to turn and cough once a year.

I never said you claimed this. If you would like to bring in debate terminology, you seem to be engaging in a straw man.
See my nearby comment on Direct Primary Care. It is possible to partially opt out of the system, and fortunately it is the part of the system that you touch most often (or should be anyway).
It's the commenter you're replying to, they're just expressing their own opinion, so not specifically more relevant than any other comment here.
The real lesson is to mandate minimum support. Otherwise bigtech will use this as an excuse to destroy the environment for profit through increasing planned obsolescence.
If you care about this, use a desaturated (or even monochrome) color scheme for your terminal. If you encounter software that tries to use 256/true color, use a terminal that doesn't support it (or that can disable it).

I use a desaturated theme for coding: bg #f6f6f3, fg #303030, keyword #303060, etc (and a dark variant for the late sessions). I have a little bit more saturation in the terminal (eg #3465a4 for blue) but it's definitely on the toned down side, compared e.g. to the xterm or Terminal.app defaults.

Remember when MS Windows allowed you to change the color of every single UI element? Some of these color schemes were really beautiful. We should go back to user-themeable UIs.
Good shout, thank you
why did the they have discomfort? is it because of reflection of is it because he was a black dude? does someone know the answer?
I mean, they haven’t re-invited him to the event have they? Kind of hard to see how it could be anything like a mistake.

Of course you can just not care and let people walk all over you every single time, but that’s not a healthy strategy either.
Thanks for sharing this, and pass on my thanks to Tania too.

It's just uncanny to see a whole lot of the "random" foods that make me feel bad on a single list, and that number next to the anchovies explains the post-homemade pizza feeling too...

Will definitely need to follow up!
> Swiss women didn't get the vote at federal level until 1991

To be pedantic it was one Canton (Appenzell Innerrhoden) that the supreme court finally forced to let women have full voting rights, as in the rest if the Cantons, in 1990 [0]. So it was part of the state forcing this rather than through their direct democracy, which makes the issue even more interesting.

The other states were still slow at granting universal suffrage, Vaud being the first in 1959.

EU Reform Is Back on the Agenda [pdf]
So:

"Also at the institutional level, the permacrisis is already changing the way the EU works. In particular, as the regular EU procedures tend to be very consensus-oriented and time-consuming, the need to react quickly to unforeseen problems has resulted in a gradual turn towards more informal decision-making, diluting accountability and shifting power away from supranational to intergovernmental institutions."

But then weirdly enough he wants more power to the intergovernmental arrangement:

"Among the many reform proposals, the extension of qualified majority voting in the Council has emerged as the most prominent, as it would help make the EU more democratic, more resilient, and more ready for enlargement."

An odd understanding of democracy, accountability, and transparency. The Council fails miserably at the latter two, as has been frequently pointed out by the EU's Ombudsman and her investigations.

Note also the buzzword of "resilience".
Great to hear that, I'll plan to watch it on those nights that I need to sleep but my brain keep having the best idea ever
Haha yes it is! And appreciate the suggestion, that's a good idea that I'll look into. I've plastered a big banner up and will see if anyone goes for it, from locally or elsewhere. Cheers
POST request does not have to go to a queried resource. Instead it can go to /search/resource and create new instance of search. Whether a server decides to persist it or not, will be an implementation detail.

There’s also an option to use the following semantics (with a number of nice bonuses):

POST /resource/views
{some definition of response structure and allowed parameters}

GET /resource?view=…&params=…

The whole idea of GraphQL revolves around the possibility of client to query the whole graph of the persistent model. This idea itself is questionable for many reasons - coupling, security etc. In many cases where I have seen it, classic REST with HAL (client-server) or plain old SQL (server-server) would be more than enough.
It's just americabrain. You can hardly blame them as this is the only system they know and were socialized in. I've talked to otherwise intelligent and well adjusted people who came up with the most spectacular mental gymnastics defending the US health system and coming up with the weirdest reason why public health care in the developed world isn't actually better (you have to pay taxes!!:(), it's absolutely mindboggling and I just laugh at them now. It really sucks for the families who have their lived destroyed due to unnecessary and massive medical bills.
This is the way - the Direct Primary Care model. Find the smartest DPC doc that you can and you will be free from so much of our broken system.
Pretty sure viraptor would know about that. Also rabbits and myxamatosis and later rabbit calicivirus in both Australia and NZ, and various other well-intended biological "control" introductions that went pear shaped. Cane toads, for instance. Miscellaneous parasitic wasps.
counter point 1: Fewer people are using gpt 4 than those using all other models. So it is subject to far less tests than the others.

counter point 2: It is not a given that gpt 4 should fail in the same way as the older model. It likely has its own unique failure modes yet to be discovered. (See above)

It's going to be really interesting to see if Apple's headset will support WebXR. If so it will probably be the only way to get open VR/AR content on there and could drive a huge expansion in its use. Which would be a great thing because it's much nicer to work with (from my admittedly, very meagre experience) than having to build things in Unity etc.
He is saying “be an actual professional and don’t bring a vocabulary pertaining to intimate discussions to the public sphere when what’s discussed is a technical conference.”

It’s already barely acceptable in a purely American context. To me as a European, this is extremely off putting and culturally out of line which is a recurring problem with Rust.
In that the kind of extreme cold, it cools off very fast and to levels where an extra layer or two won't do the trick.
Man, you really don't understand social dynamics do you?

Status, credibility and respect are real and tend to matter a lot.

It's not "an ego thing".
> The terminal is a grid of cells that contain individual characters. Screen readers and other accessibility tools cannot know whether those characters constitute runs of text or separators [...].

In the default state (not on the “alternate screen” and with wrapping enabled; i.e. in ls not vim) terminal emulators do record which runs of text belong together and which don’t, in order to be able to rewrap lines if the user resizes the window. (This is as universal as it is unspecified. Which is a shame, because it’s highly non-obvious how this should interact with e.g. programmatic cursor movement.) I know nothing about the accessibility story, but the “grid of cells” picture is simply untrue.
Brought it all on himself. Deserves to rot in jail.
Sex is not separate from reproduction. If you are a man and have sex with a woman then you're consenting to be a father.

Most western countries recognize verbal and other non-written contracts. The clearest example I can see here is the UK's law about weather the genetic father is the legal father. If the child was conceived through sexual intercourse then the genetic father is always the legal father.
I believe there is a wide range of possible emotional reactions between weeping about something on one end and sucking it up on the other.
Venetian Arsenal
"The news", despite the understandable confusion stemming from its name, isn't about what's new; It's about what's current. "The thing that happened before just happened again" is still news.
Of course they did. The alternative was to just keep calm and carry on, like for every other virus outbreak. The idea that COVID required unique measures is not true and had been proven untrue many times in many ways. The correct response was the traditional one: let doctors get on with it and otherwise continue with normal life.
Perfect summary of what happened here. There's a million stories like this out there. Not sure why I should care about this one.

Seems a very immature way of dealing with things. Recent phenomenon or am I just becoming callous in my old age?
> Why do pure switching fabric ASICs generate so much heat?

There is also the fact that they are consumer devices and margins have to be high so quality of the product is tailored accordingly.
Nah I don't want them involved.
In the U.K. it is not normal to go for an annual examination at all. Here, once you hit 40, you get an examination every 5 years unless you have some specific health condition which would requires you to be seen more frequently.
> Is it though?

It’s like being center stage on the PR poster for the movie and then only being an extra.

Like, being invited to perform on the main stage of the concert with your band, and then later being told you’ll have to perform from side stage 3 instead.

The audience is confused, and the whole thing is just disrespectful, yeah.

The thing itself is not the problem, performing on stage 3 by itself would be fine. It’s the disrespect and incompetence implied by the switch from one to the other.
I don't understand why you're being downvoted, you're simply pointing out facts and raising a good question.

I'm interested to find out why too.
> And court can easily decide that you are no longer "anonymous donor", because you "accepted paternal role", by giving money, by paying for dinner or even by answering messages! There are precedents for that!

The only precedent I’ve found for this is a few homophobic judges that wanted an excuse to pull the sperm-donor father into a child’s life despite having one (single mother by choice) or two women parents that found a donor informally on a Facebook group or something similar.

I am very entrenched in the world of gamete donation being the product of one and I’ve never heard of, run across, or even read someone’s story of this happening to parent(s) who go through a clinic or take legal steps with a “direct to consumer” sperm donation.
> She would tell me about every little negative thing that happened between us.

I would not want to be in such a relationship, to be honest. Just learn to accept each other's small flaws and try to be kind. Little things only build up if you let them. Verbalising everything and putting negativity into focus is actually one of those ways that scar tissue can build up. The best way for it to not build up is to let the little things go.
If leadership acts so carelessly with regard to matters concerning a human being in such a shady and disrespecting manner, why would they act less careless with regard to technical matters? Will they just enforce their biased opinion, ignoring valid and generally accepted technical arguments? Rust leadership sounds a bit like the elite leadership of a communist state. I'd prefer an open dictatorship over that.
> In March 2023, game designer Brenda Romero told The Washington Post that the game Solution represents a substantial, uncredited appropriation of Romero's own game, Train...

> “I have no doubt that Train is the best game I’ll probably make,” Romero said. “It is the one thing I will have to show for dedicating my life to games. And somebody decided that was just fair game.”

Don't look at the wikipedia page for Train unless you want a huge spoiler. Train has a VERY specific twist. It sounds like that was what was used for the novel, and Brenda Romero is right, especially as other games were credited.
It’s a bunch of static text, no? Surely it can run on a pretty small budget?
The part where I acknowledged that some people are horrifically ill?

The American Society of Anesthesiologists has a Physical Status that is part of every pre-op examination we do.

ASA 1: a normal healthy patient. (You almost never see these.)

ASA 2: A patient with mild systemic disease.

ASA 3: A patient with severe systemic disease. Subtext of the definition of this class notes that it causes some impairment of function. This is our most common class.

ASA 4: A patient with severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life.

ASA 5: A moribund patient who is not expected to survive without the operation.

ASA 6: A declared brain-dead patient whose organs are being removed for donor purposes.

There's a bit of personal style in there - my 4 might be someone else's 3 - but it's a shorthand way of saying "they're very sick". A 5 is someone who is actively trying to die.

> The world would be a much kinder place if we embraced radical cooperation.

It would be a horrific dystopia as everyone who tried to implement that has found. Competitive and free socialists always outcompete "radically cooperative" societies because the latter is always implemented through violence and coercion. There's no such thing as "radically cooperative" and also kind, the two are incompatible.
For starters. He prolly never heard of portal lol
Is there any evidence that discussions on the dark web is a precursor to attacks? Any documented cases at all? Seems like BS to me.
For Spanish language speakers Uruguay is a small and somewhat poor but stable south American economy with good ICT infrastructure and jobs. Big international companies like using it for regional offices.

Many people seek to migrate to Australia and New Zealand. They have 40% + immigrant populations. It's a good but difficult choice. Huge ICT sector.

Germany has fantastic tertiary education options for young people, some of them free. Huge ICT sector.

Japan is desperate for young people willing to overcome their culture and language barriers. Huge ICT sector

Ireland is English speaking (mostly) but euro economy and lots of ICT jobs. Amsterdam is an island of English speaking in the Netherlands with lots of ICT jobs.

Britain is OK, but has economic issues. But, it has a huge immigrant population. Scotland is interesting, with good tertiary education choices after you achieve some residency. Huge ICT sector.

Canada is a good choice. Personally I think the USA is too hard, but others may differ. The green card competition is interesting. Large ICT sector.

Mauritius is where a lot of African ICT happens, without a lot of the civil unrest of much of Africa.

I think he is saying that words such as "cruelty" and "betrayal" have a weight in them that are way out of proportion to the events that took place.

I am a bit out of the loop (I don't know who the people involved are), but I tend to agree, I think. Sounds like a mix of miscommunication and group politics. Those are things that people might get upset, but the exaggerated response sounds like a cheap appeal to raw emotions.

What does ‘sideloading’ mean in the steamdeck context? E.g. can you run any 3rd party game out of the box or do you need to perform some jailbreak first?
Forget Berlin. The Ruhr area, biggest continuous settlement in Germany, with roughly 20 million inhabitants (of which maybe 5 million would be affected), is below its local water table because "the dwarves delved too greedily and too deep".
