AIUI the Protect and Survive films were only ever meant to be broadcast if a nuclear attack was imminent. They were classified but leaked to the BBC. It's not like anyone was showing them alongside the Green Cross Code man, "old fridges can kill", or Charly telling you to keep away from strangers and chip pan fires (separately...).

(I'm reasonably sure the pamphlet didn't get published for the general public either, but again its existence was reported by the media)

EDITED TO ADD: aha, Wikipedia says that the pamphlet did get published, basically because of the reportage generating so much public interest.

Interesting. I’m a little surprised they went with Electron instead of a Go portable GUI toolkit like Fyne or something. Electron is a safe choice, but it seems odd to take such a big dependency when you’re doing stuff like reimplementing Git

I think the part where your reasoning is invalid is this part:

> so its generation number is undefined

With e.g. a random C compiler and a random malloc, that's true. But why couldn't the language and runtime cooperate to ensure it is defined?

For example deallocation can write a predictable value to that slot, which is never used as a legit generation index. The memory allocator can make sure that a memory address that ever contained a generation can never contain anything else than generation ids for the entire runtime of the program (e.g. by ensuring that for a given page, all objects are the same size and the allocations are aligned to that size). The language can make sure that nothing else can get written to such a memory address by enforcing bounds checks.

Your pet hypothesis, has yet to be confirmed only after that, will it be a theory.
Yes, I wouldn’t recommend it for a business just due to the complexity of the setup and the necessary knowledge to keep it running.

If you’re able to document the setup properly and have multiple people that have intimate knowledge of your machinations.. then you are covered .. unfortunately most people do not cover these bases.

If you have built yourself into this process you will realize quickly that nobody else understands it, and you will have a hard time taking vacation (among other things)

Also you put the business at risk because you need to plan for what the company will do when you get hit by a bus.

For these reasons it’s generally more preferable to pay a premium to go with a standard solution as opposed to something you cobbled together to save small amounts of money.
I imagine that over time they’ll update their 1st party clients to use authentication, and if they’re really motivated they could implement some kind of token binding.

Insane attention to detail goes into every part of the park. I worked on a technology project for one of the attractions mentioned in the article, and a constant theme of the meetings and implementation was the guest experience and maintaining the feel of immersion. Lots of customization and fabrication went into anything that could be potentially visible to guests.
I'm currently converting a suite of E2E tests from Cypress to Playwright. In hindsight, I'm surprised by how much more idiomatic the Cypress code was in comparison. The concepts just make sense, whereas Playwright is very unintuitive in places. Cypress seems a bit like the jQuery of browser testing. It just works without too many surprises.

What's really fantastic about Playwright is the automated HTML reports it spits out.
Generally the disk in the box has to have something on it that runs (It may not even be the game). This is due to the lead time involved in pressing and validating the gold master that becomes the game disk. This allows the developers to continue working on their launch day ‘patch’.

With the development cycle and Sony and Microsoft’s distribution setup as it is now, physical copies effectively act as a token to play the game only. Using Cyberpunk 2077 as an example a recent patch to the game mandated a nearly full redownload of the whole game on PS5 and Xbox Series - ~60+GB. On PC it was ~5G.

Ignorance (especially pride about it) is so infuriating because it suggests to people that their knowledge about something is not in any way essential to humans. And this is true about Excel. If someone told me they hadn't heard of WWII or the moon landing then I would be right to be angry as it is information that is really essential to all of us. For anything else, we really shouldn't waste our energy on this infinite source of anger.
This is the first time I have heard of that woman, I bet nobody cares about it here. Perhaps other people would be mad about it in the same way you are about her not knowing Excel. I won't disagree with you though that it is very tempting to get annoyed by it :)

C arrays are syntax sugar over pointer arithmetic and defining up a handful of FORTH words to do the same thing (plus a bump allocator) is sufficiently trivial that putting it in core would be weird, because -in general- FORTH programs are low level enough you wouldn't have -many- dynamic arrays so having separate words for each one often makes a lot of sense.

This isn't to say that FORTH is going to be particularly -suited- to writing something like a todo app, and I'm having the sort of day where I can see the rough shape of the required code in my head just fine but cannot for the life of me convince my fingers to produce you a useful example, but it's very much doable.

It was a great and useful cross platform messaging app ... and still is after Meta bought it.
For this use case, I use a burner Google voice number, give that to Whatsapp and don't give it access to my contacts or anything on my phone. Late model phones don't give apps IMEI or real MAC.

It's not perfect: when you connect with people they can easily associate your WhatsApp account with your identity (add contact) and also share info/pics/etc about you that you wouldn't want shared. They can do this even if you're not on WhatsApp, and Meta can use face recognition and other techniques to create a profile for you, then associate that profile with the other days and profile they have for you. It's trivial to narrow the down to a few million users then match on photo etc. Unclear if they bother, given that 99% of users just give away their privacy.

Also, Whatsapp verification uses SMS. If they'd used a verification URL, they could've (bounced through) Facebook.com, Instagram.com, etc and associated the account via (first party) cookies. I'm guessing they don't because 99% of users happily give the app all the permissions it needs and SMS is more universal.

If it is the same advert I've seen many times for one of those casual games that all look the same (battle of the tanks, tank war, waring tanks, battling tanks, fantasy tanks, tank fantasy, …) then that isn't even relevant to what I'm watching (I wonder how much they pay for a spot on an LTT vid or similar?) it'll get skipped every time. If it is something that might be relevant but I'm already aware (either I already was, or I've already seen the ad four times this week) again it'll get skipped.

The Running Is BS podcast is sponsored by a tea company: irrelevant to me as I don't drink tea at all (there is some relevance to the people making the cast, which is how the segment came about initially), hitting skip-forward-30s a couple of times each fortnight is no hardship to me. I listen enough that I perhaps should consider doing the Patreon thing, the fact that I and no doubt many others in a similar position don't do the Patreon thing is why the sponsor segment is useful to the creators.

> is that any different from having a piece of software do as much for you

The difference is that something new and potentially useful doesn't get skipped and it would automatically with sponsorblock. Hitting the right arrow key a couple of times is hardly a hardship. Before the sponsor segments on a video channel or podcast get to the point of irritation where I'd use something like sposorblock, I'll probably just start avoiding looking at that channel at all.
The conclusion of the above link is, as might be expected:

But ultimately, evidence-based science should play an important role in informing public policy on these issues.

“At this point in time, to the best of our knowledge, there is no publicly available empirical evidence that drill music language incites violent crime,” Kleinberg and McFarlane conclude.

It seems to be more a case of art imitating life with very few cases that can be shown to incite and instigate violence.
"Unbearable Lightness" is one of those books that changed me as a person.

It isn't really too much of a novel because it has a very thin plot with very little drama or tension. It is more like a deep reflection. But it is very good.

The book's perspective on human condition is very cynical. My understanding, when I read it, is that by "unbearable lightness" what the author means is that we are absolutely irrelevant and the whole idea of "meaning of life" is just pathetic.

Yeah, I know: I sound like an atheistic teenager. But, please, don't get fooled. Kundera wrote a billion times better than me. He deserves to be read, even if I sound childish.

If you like Albert Camus you'll love Kundera (and vice-versa).
The fact that lots of people are willing to make that trade does not make it good or ethical.

Sure, the costs are different, but so is availability. As someone who listened to music for a good while and still listen to songs I first heard 30 years ago, I rather pay more and know it's 100% available anytime I want to hear in the future, than worrying about it ever disappearing from my library because some Spotify<>Label deal expired.

I think this is a category error. Those bad things aren't driven by ads. Ads drive economies of scale possible if people have heard of your product without word of mouth, which lower prices and help producers understand what people want. Productiveness will sometimes drive things like microplastics, as it's hard to know the effects of doing something new without doing that thing.

That's the theoretical response. In practice: how would I sell my car without ads? Would I sit and wait for people to be attracted to it and ask me if it's for sale?
In general, in a discussion about or adjacent to programming language design, people will tend to expect 'list' to be used to mean a data structure that behaves like a singly linked list ala lisp's cons cell based list data structures.

The programming styles list-first and array-first languages encourage are sufficiently completely different that using them interchangeably tends to be a really bad idea, and honestly python's arrays being named that way irritates me even if I don't consider 'this irritates me' to be a criticism per se.

Disagree. I say: Bad math teachers really filter out people in a way nothing else does.

This is over the top, but boils down my experience starting from highschool. I was in love with math when I was in primary and middle school. I really did.

But Highschool and university killed every last bit of enjoyment I used to have.

Okay, I did really like the first 2 semesters of math. I found an amazing online class which covered the same topics we did. Finally I understood and doing the exercises with such ease felt like cheating.

It makes no direct difference, they don't get paid directly per view like with monetising via youtube ads and such, but if no one ever sees the sponsor segments the sponsorship will dry up and the content will need to be paid for by other means (the creators just loving it enough to make it for free, some of the audience paying by some means, etc.) which usually isn't a long-term viable position.
> This sounds pretty great to me. If the applications are well designed, they can do their own thing.

They are almost never well designed. Devs, particularly those who get excited about “clever” UX don’t care about usability.

> I don't see why we need to conform to a centralized idiom.

Because I don’t want to learn dozens of keyboard shortcuts to do the same thing just because a random dev thought it was clever to have their own thing. Because I don’t want to spend hours navigating “clever” menu layouts and figure out whether the settings I am after are behind a hamburger, in a sub-sub-submenu, in a contextual menu, or hidden behind arcane commands (hello, Chrome). I don’t want some stupid software forcing down on me metaphors from another stupid OS, either.

I do want text fields to support the same operations everywhere; I want menus to be used the same way as well, and these are the most egregious.

OS provided widgets offer baseline functionality the users expect to find. Re-implementing your own widgets is fucking stupid: you are spending a lot of time to re-invent the wheel, and in the end it does not even work.

It’s just like cryptography. Don’t roll your own. Your users will thank you.
I definitely think you should minimize 3rd party dependencies. That is where things turn nasty fast. You want 1 chef in the kitchen wherever possible. This "open source" movement has sapped so much life force from many developers by forcing them to chase ideological rabbits around all day. I think it's intentional at this point too.

I'm enjoying the magic of letting my framework/language vendor manage much of this circus for me. I am perfectly content being a filthy capitalist pig of a developer and paying money for my tools. Every time I can pay to outsource complexity, I am going to do it.

If you are actually focused on problem solving, working with certain vendors that include most batteries can make for a significantly more productive and happy dev experience. Forcing yourself into dep management hell just so you can brag on twitter about avoiding that one evil vendor is accomplishing what, exactly?

If you spend more than an hour a week worrying about dependencies, and you are trying to ship business functionality, why? Why suffer like this? Presumably the business to be implemented is already shitty enough. Why do we want to make it 10x harder with broken technology designs?
The Z codes (ICD to be specific) are similar. Although those two are not exhaustive -- it can be conditional so can be confusing.

You have different rules for chronic conditions, so for example something could be rolled up into a billable DRG one visit, but should not be included in a follow up visit.

The DRG example on this website is interesting -- so I think these are valuable services, but I look at claims data everyday for my job and I would have a hard time knowing the exact codes before I go for a visit. (Also obviously in an emergency I am not shopping around!)

And then there are service modifiers for "how long" for CPT codes for just outpatient visits -- you wouldn't be able to know 15/30/60 minutes before hand even if you did know the specific CPT code. So for that you may want to know the proportion the doctor bills, not compare the prices on the same CPT.
I think it's pretty clear at this point that most non-techies place no value on digital privacy. So, from the perspective of someone whose friends all use Zuck's app, the other person is trying to complicate their life for no benefit.
