Escape hatch-ed into the the military for the 2000s financial crisis, became a Navy Nuke and was one when those commands didn't have the lowest morale out of all the military (though we were competing against Drone Pilots who hit rock bottom enough to boo their commanding officer off stage).

The military is a fucked up place with utter bullshit like the CO using a suicide victim's "voice" to say we should work harder, where failures of people stay in (too afraid of civilian life, or trapped in the military since they're the only one who covers their child insurance wise, or worse get their rocks off at the command climate), and along with the entire thing being utterly corrupt (there are no economic pressures to do better, no social pressures since everyone is trapped by that contract, and no oversight pressures since politicians are afraid of the fallout of being hard on the military).

(On the bright side with the failure of the military to recruit, we know things are NOT completely hopeless economically/emotionally/socially for gen Z. Since when things get that bad, they're likely to ignore the advice of people who have recently been in)
I don't really see the problem as anybody can use an open source browser compiled without those, assuming there is any kind of benefit to access those blocked domains, which is doubtful.

The general population will not use such custom-compiled browsers, which fulfills the aim of security without having to threat user with any kind of punishment.

There are many limitations with iPadOS, but that isn’t one of them.

That issue was resolved years ago, and any remaining limitations are due to third-party developers not keeping up with evolving standards.

And purposely not obfuscated.

Yeah, that really is bare minimum, but its still better than the deliberate obfuscation of many similar games.

Minecraft, meanwhile, is obfuscated but with public mappings. That is a weird situation, but it still works kinda like the game being source available.

Yes, I remember seeing an interview with a retired Ivy League professor (sadly don't remember who). He pointed out that many of the AA admitted students struggled with the intense demands of places like Harvard or MIT, but they would do really well at a slightly less elite university. Being consistently worse at everything than your fellow students surely doesn't help self esteem and confidence.

Now, some professors have actually started grading differently according to racial criteria. This will further wreak havoc, because the students know quite well how they stack up to their peers. It makes the "helped" student dependent on being given advantadges, which I think is by design. If your success in life depended on a gigantic bureaucracy of discrimination, would you be in favour of abolishing it?

Decade user as well, and like Les Meserables, V8 killed the dream I had. Not enticed by any other options available and on 8 since know holding on to v7 would just delay the inevitable and make the switch that much harder. They removed so many small features that made such a large difference in my day to day to use. And since no change after all this time it seems that’s how it will be. Went from a product I loved to a simply a product I have to use (for now). But that kind of relationship is not what you want with customers since they when they screw up on something they won’t have users giving them slack or supporting them. And all just waiting for an option that is as good or close enough to jump ship to that shows signs that will grow in the direction the user base is after. Like many apps like Spark and such they are growing towards to enterprise base which pays much and fewer so easier to support. It’s too bad but it is what it is.

There's a formal field of study related to the newsworthiness of rare events like accidents. Essentially, you sum up the "value" of people that died all at once, and certain thresholds elevate that to "local news", "national news", or "international news".

Sure, it might seem horribly cold to think of people as having value, but they do. A simple metric is to take their annual income, and pretend it is an interest payment on some cash in a bank account. Typical westerners are hence worth a few million dollars.

Lebanese refugees? A few tens of thousands each, if that.

The billionaires in the sub added up to more than the refugees on the boat. That's it. It's that simple.

If Trump, Bezos, Gates, or Musk die, it's guaranteed to be global news, one hundred percent. If ten ordinary people die? Eh... nobody cares.

To put things in perspective, in the same period of time that the sub was being searched for, about a week, globally we lost:

About 25,000 people to car crashes.

About 30,000 to preventable diseases.

About 50,000 to industrial accidents and work-related diseases.

And a mere 5,000 or so to the war in Ukraine.

That boat near Greece? It barely rates. It's a statistic.
The method of letting the markets decide would work, I think.
You can have memset/memcmp work for individual structs by setting the padding yourself, and to make sure you do it right, on GCC/clang you can use -Wpadded. It's probably best to do that on a case-by-case basis, unless you're prepared to deal with a lot of compiler warnings/errors though.

#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic error "-Wpadded"
struct foo {
uint8_t a;
uint8_t _pad[3];
uint32_t b;
};
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
>No it won't. Once US provides ATACMS the war will be effectively over.

I would also add that Russia has effectively lost the war after they couldn't capture Kyiv in 3 days. Now Russia is putting off the inevitable by continuing to send Russian men to their deaths in Ukraine.

Currently Russia is scraping the bottom of the barrel by using T-54/T-55 tanks:

Meanwhile Ukraine is getting equipped with modern vehicles, the latest tanks, and F-16 airplanes.

Do you generate a random key for each id? If so, you loose the time component of your I'd, because two hashes made at a different time can produce the same hash when using a different key (I think). If you use a single key you need to manage it and keep it secret which isn't really ideal for something simple like id's. If you reveal the key you could as well use an unkeyed hash, right? Maybe a salted hash with the same salt for every key to make dictionary attacks on the creation time harder. But then again it's probably easier to just generate random bits for the id, as you don't have sortability in any case.
Boggles the mind why people still fall for the iPad Pro as a serious work machine beyond writing meme.

The fact that Final Cut launched on it recently and while its exporting you have to sit there leaving the app open you can't go do something else is the punchline of the decade for the lie that this is a serious machine.

This is before we get into the comical evolution from "You just need the touchscreen" to "Actually physical keys are good for long typing" iPad and a keyboard case, to "oh actually a cursor would be useful to do real work" to full blown iPad + trackpad case awkward laptop form factor.

Actually the more I think about how good the M1 MacBook is it's actually a crime these beautiful processors were locked up in that abysmal form factor and forced to do Facebook and match-3 games instead of real work.

Generative AI Raises Competition Concerns
On what is based your claim that it is impossible to foster brand loyalty on Android side?
Maybe there is a reason that there is no brand loyalty on Android side, a reason that maybe those brands created themselves after seeking instant profits above anything else. Not one android phone manufacturer tried to cultivate long term relations with their customers for any reasonable amount of time. A lot of customers tried variety of android phones exactly for that reason, to find a brand that would not let you down and yet very quicly all promises were broken.
At a glance, it looks like it would have quite a few accessibility issues.

In recent times the EU member states seem to take many steps backwards in terms of civil rights and general freedoms, including the proposed Chatcontrol legislation, the one above, and many others.

Furthermore, because the “west” is typically seen as better than the “east”, such a law, if passed would be adopted rather quickly by countries outside the EU member states. This has happened with the NetzDG social media laws in Germany and similar onerous laws being adopted in other countries; EFF has lots of articles regarding it.

Specific to the subject matter of this article, even China is doing a better job by mostly censoring at the ISP level and investing in entropy analysis of network streams.

Yeah, I'm curious too. If you use a desktop Windows app you will of course run into that kind of thing but there is apps like Sketchable available that are like what's on the iPad. Even on the iPad you can run into file save dialogs, from what I remember Clip Studio Paint on the iPad is for better or worse Clip Studio Paint on the iPad file save dialogs and all.

Interesting that it's cracking down on Shadowsocks with obfuscation plugins. SS w/ v2ray was more or less the gold standard when I was going there from 2017 to 2019.

Back then, certain times (early June, big government meetings) would see a crackdown on VPNs where, so far as I could tell, they just threw down crude blanket blocks on anything they sorta-kinda knew was a VPN but couldn't procedurally target-block. It would (usually) still connect but be rate-limited to essentially nothingness.

I always got the vibe that they sort of informally tolerated VPNs above a certain threshold of sophistication, figuring that they were more interested in blocking the low-hanging fruit that the unwashed masses could easily use, rather than something more sophisticated that only a few techno-nerds could utilise. As other posters have said, they'd know who was doing it and preferred to come knocking with a rubber hose if those people caused too much in the way of issues.

I think the response to this from Tolstoy's perspective is that by imbibing a drug which makes socializing easier, you're doing (1) or (2). E.g. your inner voice is telling you that you should be social, you're failing at it, so you drink to fulfill the demand of that voice, which is (1). Or maybe you drink to escape trauma which sounds a lot like (2).

The point is really that all existence is filtered through the lens of the mind. This is related to the idea of solipsism, to which I think Tolstoy subscribed to some degree. I haven't studied any of that stuff since college though, maybe a philosophy PhD is lurking around HN...

Because Apple doesn't allow macs to take that form factor.

There is a gap between iPads' convenience and macs' capabilities, we've all been pondering about when and how this gap will be filled, and it doesn't feel like it will ever happen.

Basically what is Apple's equivalent of a Surface Pro ? Until that question has an answer, some will be ranting about iPad OS being too restrictive and others lament the mac not getting touch support.
Yet people will still have access to these websites if they want, so it makes more sense to have been designed to prevent accidental, unwilling, or unaware access.

Social Media and “Parasocial Media”
Summary: Military kids traditionally are the majority of recruits, but America's military misadventures the past two decades have left veterans not very enthusiastic about their mission, and the current civilian job market is really good, so veterans are telling their kids that a civilian career might be the better path. Also, the general population isn't a great source either, as 3/4 of youths are deemed unfit for service, and parents are questioning whether the military would be a happy place for their kids. Fortunately, the Pentagon has crack marketing people working on the problem.
Does the camera work as well as with the stock OS?

I've used custom ROMs for years, but never used Graphene.

My current phone is a Xiaomi Mi9T. With a custom ROM, to properly make use of the camera you need to flash a magisk module.
Otherwise you are stuck with the stock android camera app which doesn't perform nearly as well.

This phone is on its last legs, the screen was smashed so I had to replace it with a cheaper LCD, which has affected battery life and sometimes is unresponsive.

Thinking about getting a used Pixel 6 and giving Graphene a go.

What do you expect from a government that has criminalised DNA based paternity tests done without the consent of the mom. Yes, if you have doubts about your wife's loyalty and want to silently do a DNA test with your supposed child to make sure you are the actual father, you need your wife's consent. If you do it without her consent, you will go to jail. I know it's off topic, but that's the first thing that comes to my mind whenever i hear the word "France".
No, it's been true since forever and will remain true forever. If your government doesn't respect this right, it's time to get a new government.
I've been exclusively on Fairphones since Fairphone 1.

Recently switched from FairphoneOS (the stripped, bloatfree, google-free Android) back to stock Android¹

Its updates are fast, steady and consistently good (and improving). The FP1 is ten years old, and still works (though android there is EOL and old, and spare parts no longer available), my FP2 and an FP3 work fine, I can still get parts and Android isn't too old. The hardware is slow, and old, though (e.g. no 5G, power hungry BT, puny camera by current standards).
The FP4 is top notch. Spare parts are cheap (e.g. Replaceable battery only €29, new screen only €80), android 12 good enough. But it does have stuff like Google Meet or TV that I would like to remove but cannot.

¹I'm diabetic. Monitoring and Pump control is moving from dedicated electronics to native apps. And they often require Google Android, cannot or will not run on degoogled android. Same for banking and payment apps.
I agree it's probably not a great machine to do serious coding on but it's very strange there's no mention of online IDEs like Cloud 9. I don't know if Cloud 9 works on iPads but surely you could find one of the online environment/cloud IDEs that does.
> It turns out that Wikileaks was stringently anti-imperialist, and anti-war.

Ah so I suspect Wikileaks has started publishing Russian leaks once Russia showed itself to be an imperialist beast then right?.

> Why wouldn't he work tirelessly to address that issue, and his native country's corrupt participation in the criminal 5-eyes cabal?

Im confused, are you aware that Assange is Australian?.

You can see Wikileaks reporting on Australia here.

https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Category:Australia

It's super minimal.

> Why should we clean up Russia's mess? We are not Russian. We are members of the 5-eyes superstate that has been committing crimes against humanity, on average, every twenty minutes for twenty years. The magnitude of that crime is so enormous that we simply will never be able to address the war crimes of other nations while we continue to be ruled by our own war criminals. Which Wikileaks was in a position to understand, quite well, on the frontlines of the leaks.

I am going to regret asking this but these extraordinary claims are going to require evidence.

> You start with the biggest criminal bullies first. Always. And that's exactly what Wikileaks and Julian did, and should be respected for...

Then we must go for Russia first, this is no recent analogue to Russias coordinated execution, rape and torture of civilians, in not just Ukraine but in Chechnya too.
